Join us in the heart of Watkinsville for our annual Christmas Parade, a holiday tradition for families, friends, and neighbors! Enjoy festive floats, local groups, music, and of course a visit from Santa himself riding in style.
The parade takes place rain or shine and is free to attend. Stick around after the parade as the community gathers for the Watkinsville Christmas Tree Lighting at 6:00 PM.
After the tree lighting, join us for a fun photo op with Santa, provided by Visit Oconee!
Want to participate? Parade entry is FREE!
Entry Deadline: Friday, November 14, 2025
