It’s time to step right up! The Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce (GACC) is officially accepting entries for the 92nd Annual Christmas Parade.
This year’s parade is bringing a little circus magic to the holiday season with the theme, “Welcome to the Big Top!”
Inspired by Gainesville’s history as the home of the Gainesville Community Circus, this year’s theme pays tribute to a unique part of the city’s heritage while inviting participants to bring their own creativity to the celebration.
The 92nd Annual Christmas Parade will take place on Thursday, Dec. 3, 2026, at 6 p.m. in Historic Downtown Gainesville. Applications are now available online at www.gainesvillecofc.com, or paper entry forms may be picked up at the Gainesville Civic Center. Pre-registration is required and all entries must be submitted by Friday, Nov. 20, 2026 at 5 p.m.
Parade guidelines and additional registration information are available on the GACC website.
Whether returning for another year or joining the tradition for the first time, participants are encouraged to get their entries in and help make this year’s parade a spectacular celebration!
