7:00pm: The West Chester Christmas Parade!
Voted “Best Local Parade” and “Best Family-Friendly Event” by readers of Main Line Today, the parade delights more than 20,000 fans of all ages.
Parade goers can expect Chester County’s favorite performers as well as a variety of notable newcomers to our incredible family parade experience. This year: more marching bands by popular demand, as well as award-winning floats, sparkling performances, and of course – Santa’s much-anticipated appearance! The Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that 6abc meteorologist Adam Joseph will return as emcee, joined for the first time by WMMR radio host Kathy Romano of The Preston & Steve Show.
The success of the parade depends on volunteers. Volunteer opportunities are endless and include parade marshaling, set-up and break-down, and more. This is your chance to give back to your local community and be part of the many festive activities that take place in West Chester during the holiday season!
