2025 Holiday Parade & Tree Lighting

We're lighting up the City on Monday, December 1, at 7:00 p.m. with the brightest nighttime parade you've ever seen! Bundle up and join your neighbors along the parade route (Piccadilly from Cameron to Braddock, Braddock from Cameron to Cork, and Cork from Braddock to Cameron) to cheer on bands, local organizations, and local businesses.

Immediately following the parade, make your way to the walking mall (in front of the Old Civil War Courthouse Museum) for the official tree lighting for music, merriment, and a visit from the Big Guy himself!

The parade is presented by Winchester Parks and Recreation in partnership with Wawa. Thank you to our Parade Marshals from Winchester Host Lions Club!

The parade will be live streamed on WinLife TV's YouTube channel with commentary by Barry Lee and Lisa Herndon. https://www.youtube.com/@winlifetv7313
