Home for the Holidays 2026 – Christmas Parade Registration! 🎄

Saturday, December 5, 2026 | Downtown Upper Sandusky

It's time to bring the magic of Christmas to downtown Upper Sandusky! Our annual Home for the Holidays Christmas Parade is one of our community's most beloved traditions, and we're inviting YOU to be part of it!

Last year, more than 50 floats and entries filled our downtown streets with holiday cheer, and this year, we're hoping to make the parade even bigger, brighter, and more spectacular!

Whether you're a local business, nonprofit, church, school group, Boy Scout or Girl Scout troop, athletic team, club, family, or just a group of friends with a fun idea, everyone is welcome to participate!

And when it comes to your parade entry, don't hold back! We love creativity, Christmas lights, music, costumes, elaborate decorations, and the wonderfully outrageous ideas that make this parade so much fun. The more festive and imaginative, the better!
