The 2025 Berryville Christmas Parade will take place on Saturday, December 6 at 6:00 p.m.
The parade will travel through the center of the square along Highway 62, beginning at Danny’s Tire and Full Service and Anstaff Bank, and ending at Harter House and the Berryville Community Center entrance.
Parade entry is free. We encourage all participants to sign up so we can prepare an accurate lineup, though registration is only required if you wish to be judged. Winners will receive cash prizes sponsored by the City of Berryville.
Registration forms are available at the Berryville Community Center or may be saved from this event page to print and complete. Forms must be turned in at the Berryville Community Center by November 28th.
The theme for this year is “Unity.” The Berryville CommUNITY Center is all about bringing people together, a place where friends and families can celebrate special occasions, enjoy sports, and take part in community activities. This holiday season, we invite you to join us in celebrating the spirit of unity.

We ask that NO entry include Santa, as he will be the last one in the parade. Please be advised there is a city ordinance in place prohibiting candy being thrown during the parade for safety reasons.
Drivers, please maintain a steady pace to avoid gaps between floats. Stay in the middle of Hwy 62 for safety and do NOT stop to perform during the parade. Continue on the route until reaching the Harter House/BCC area, where floats may disband in the BCC parking lot. Let your participants know ahead of time that hot cocoa and cookies will be served in the BCC Game Room.
