This year’s parade theme is A Delaware Christmas, and the chamber hopes that all the marching bands, floats, antique vehicles, fire trucks and other participants will have fun decorating to reflect the spirit of the First State and of Christmas.

“Hundreds of participants and spectators are expected, and there’s always room for more,” says Georgetown Chamber Executive Director Karen Duffield. “Every entry adds to the magic, to the fun and to the spirit of our Christmas Parade.”

The parade follows its traditional route from Front Street down West Market Street and around The Circle, and ends at Grace Church on East Market Street. All entries must be lined up by 6:30 p.m. Lineup is on West Pine Street in front of the Armory, and the parade starts at 7 p.m.
