🎄 It’s officially Christmas Parade planning season! 🎅✨

We are officially gearing up for this year’s parade, and as always, it takes a wonderful village of volunteers to bring the magic together for our community.

Whether you have just one hour to spare or want to dive into a bigger role, there is a place for you. Some folks like to help behind the scenes leading up to the big day so they can just relax and watch as spectators, while others love jumping in right on parade day—and both are equally appreciated!

We’re looking for help with:

Behind-the-Scenes & Prep: Brainstorming this year’s theme, managing entry forms, coordinating judging & awards, and fine-tuning logistics.

Day-Of Support: Route coordination, safety/security, staging, and event flow.

Creatives & Portfolio Builders: Looking to sharpen your skills, build up your photography portfolio, or get hands-on experience in social media marketing? This is a fantastic, supportive way to showcase your talents while helping a 100% volunteer-driven event!

Whether you want to build a float, help behind the scenes, direct traffic for an hour, or just mark your calendar to bring the family and cheer from the sidewalks—we need every single one of you to make this year special.

👉 Want to get involved? Drop a comment below or send a quick DM letting us know what you enjoy doing, what skills you’d love to share, or how much time you’d like to offer. Let’s make this year’s parade the best one yet! 🎁🚜🎉
