Submitted by Jacona Hester-- Get ready for the 77th Annual Fort Mill Christmas Parade, returning Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024, at 11 a.m.!

This year's parade, led by our Grand Marshal, S. C. House Representative, Raye Felder, will start at Tom Hall and Unity Street and travel through Main Street and North White Street in Historic Downtown Fort Mill, ending just before Walter Elisha Park.

Join us for a festive lineup featuring local schools, officials, churches, businesses, scouts, pageant queens, and of course, Santa! The parade will be filmed for Comporium Channel 705, with coverage taking place in front of the Fort Mill Fire Station at 121 Tom Hall Street. Emcees, David Ward and Ashley Lang, will announce each entry as they pass this spot.

Our Parade Judges, Jocquin Fuller, Fort Mill School District Teacher of the Year, Heather Aiazzi, Support Staff of the Year and Danielle Lennon, S.C. Strawberry Festival Pageant Director, will be located at the Fire Station, and will select winners for categories including Best Car, Best Golf Cart, Best Walking Group, Best Christmas Theme, Most Holiday Spirit, and Most Creative.

Find your spot along the parade route and enjoy our 100+ festive entries!
