2024 'Home For Christmas' Parade
A long-standing tradition, the City of Waukesha Christmas Parade attracts high levels of community engagement, with spectator numbers in the 15,000 to 20,000 range. Community groups and organizations, families, and businesses bring out the best this special holiday season has to offer with music, festive decorations, and performances that truly delight and create the much-anticipated warmth of the season.
This year's parade, our 61st, will continue to honor and remember those we lost in the 2011 parade tragedy by beginning the parade with a special 'lantern walk' (6 lanterns, 1 for each person we lost) to light the way toward remembrance and continued healing for our community.
The vision for this year's theme, 'Home for Christmas' includes warm images of family (past and present), the smell of pine, hot cider, a blazing fireplace, and community. We are hopeful that everyone can recall precious moments of feeling at home . . . and that is the nostalgic warmth behind the theme of Home for Christmas. We hope to see you on December 8th!
