Tips & Advice
- Find a spot along Cumberland Street to watch, because that's where the floats, bands, balloons and Santa come through Downtown Lebanon.
- Use the free two-hour parking at 7th and Willow or 9th and Cumberland, since downtown meters charge on Saturdays.
- Register your group well before parade day, because the committee doesn't accept registrations on the day of the parade.
- Entrants should plan to hand out treats from walkers, because nothing may be thrown from floats or vehicles.
- Dress warmly if you're watching from the curb, since the parade happens outdoors in late November.
Special Events & Promotions
- The 50th anniversary parade has the theme "The Year of Tinsel – Celebrating 50 Golden Years of Holiday Magic."
- Laura LeBeau of WiLBuR 99.7 and Nancy Ryan of Froggy Valley 100.1 return to host the live broadcast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will we see in the parade?
Floats, marching bands, giant balloons and community groups fill Downtown Lebanon. The parade ends with a visit from Santa Claus.
Can I watch from home?
Yes, there's a live broadcast. Returning hosts Laura LeBeau of WiLBuR 99.7 and Nancy Ryan of Froggy Valley 100.1's Nancy & Newman Show call the parade.
How can my group be in the parade?
Businesses, organizations, schools, clubs and community groups can register online. CLA members register free. Registrations aren't accepted on parade day, and the committee can refuse any entry.
What rules do parade entries have to follow?
Walkers can hand out items, but nothing can be thrown. No one else can dress as Santa, and no collecting donations along the route. Each entry gets one bus, and vehicles need holiday decorations unless they're pulling a float. Put your entry name on the front and right side of your float for judging.
How can I volunteer?
The parade runs on lots of volunteers. Email cla@lebanoncla.com if you or your group want to help.
