2024 Shepherdstown Christmas parade

Shepherdstown’s 2024 Christmas parade will be held on Saturday, December 7. Don’t miss it!

As always, the parade will be held rain or shine. It will start at 10:00 a.m. and end at around 11:00 a.m. It will begin at the top of German Street, by Trinity Episcopal Church, and follow German Street down to Princess Street.

It will feature marching bands, floats and marching groups of all kinds, antique vehicles, firetrucks galore, and of course Santa Claus.

Shepherdstown’s Christmas parade is organized by the Rotary Club of Shepherdstown. The goal is to provide a festive, wholesome, family-oriented holiday event for the town and region. Any area institution, organization, business or individual in good standing is welcome to participate. Floats and bands are encouraged. Antique vehicles are always welcome. There is no fee to participate.
