Summerville
Christmas Parade
Second Sunday in December 2pm
Summerville Christmas Parade is designed to promote positivity throughout the Town of Summerville while capturing the “spirit of the Christmas holiday.” The parade is a family friendly, non-political event that aims to bring the community together to celebrate the season while representing the local traditions and Summerville hospitality.
The community is invited to submit an entry application for consideration. Parade entries are reviewed by the committee and must meet the annual theme and support all rules & regulations for decorated car/truck, float or walking group. All applications must adhere to the same standards in displays, handouts and artistic interpretation of the theme. Application, rules and regulation and deadlines will be posted on social media in September.
