Let’s have a parade… AND a tree lighting!Downtown Springfield Association and the City of Springfield are joining forces this year for one big holiday kickoff, right here in Downtown Springfield!
Start the day off with holiday shopping at our Merry Market, enjoy the parade, then end the evening with the Mayor’s Tree Lighting, carriage rides, Santa sightings, and more.
🏠 The 2026 Christmas Parade theme is Home For The Holidays! We are celebrating the nostalgic, warm feeling that being home for the holidays brings.
