Save the date for our 2024 Jeep Jingle Parade!
Galena's Arrival of Santa Claus Jeep Jingle Parade!
Each year, on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus arrive on their sleigh in historic Galena, Illinois (reminiscent of a Hallmark holiday movie!). It's festive... and with even more jingle, cheer, and festivities because he is being escorted with a brightly lit Holiday JEEP parade. The Galena (Civil War) Generals will lead us off... followed by our Grinch float and then the festively decorated Jeep Jingle entourage (75 in total)! (A little elf spilled the eggnog that Mr. Kringle and The Grinch will be packing gifts to award outstandingly decorated Jeeps too!!!). The Galena Trolley will transport children just ahead of Santa!!! Candy will be safely distributed to children during the parade.
Make a holiday visit for the day/weekend as Santa's arrival heralds the town's tree lighting! Come to historical and beautiful downtown Galena to kick-off your holiday season, enjoy the Jeep Jingle parade, and get a jumpstart on your holiday shopping at the local shops.
The parade is also a holiday fundraiser for Riverview Center to benefit families affected by Domestic Violence who may need assistance during this holiday season... and beyond. Each Jeep in the parade is asked to donate a minimum of a $25 gift card, which will be given directly to Riverview Center clients. You can also donate by providing a $25 gift card to local service, purchasing a commemorative Jeep Jingle t-shirt from one of the downtown Galena shops or make a cash donation directly to https://riverviewcenter.org/donate-2/.
We're excited to announce that we have Circus City DJ Kevin Kellogg for the after celebration for our Jeep Parade participants, volunteers, and sponsors. https://www.facebook.com/circuscitydjs/
