Bundle up and join us for this Very Merry holiday tradition in Perry!
Join us the day after Thanksgiving for Perry's Lighted Parade! The Perry Chamber of Commerce invites the Perry community to participate in this celebration as an official kick-off to the holiday season! Businesses, community organizations, and jolly community members are encouraged to create lighted floats to join the parade. There are prizes for the best, biggest, and brightest lighted parade floats! Please, no tossing candy for safety reasons (walkers can hand candy out).
OPTIONAL Registration for floats >>
Volunteers requested - click register to sign up to volunteer to help make this a successful event!
Several stores will be open late that night, but all downtown lights will go dark at 7 p.m. in anticipation of the Lighted Parade!
PLUS don't miss Santa at the Hotel Pattee following the parade, or the Festival of Trees at the Carnegie Library Museum!
Parade Route:
Starting at the corner of 3rd and Otley (by Oasis Restaurant), the parade will first head north on 3rd Street (by Fareway) and then will turn left at Pattee Street and then left again to head south on 2nd Street through downtown!
