2025 Waukesha Christmas Parade
(Planned and Operated by Your Waukesha Area Chamber of Commerce)
Sunday, December 7, 4:00 PM
A long-standing tradition, the
Waukesha Christmas Parade attracts high levels of community engagement, with spectators upwards of 10,000 people. Community groups and organizations, families, and businesses bring out their best for this special holiday season with music, festive decorations, and performances that truly delight and create the much-anticipated warmth of the season.
The 2025 parade, our 62nd, will continue to honor and remember those we lost in the 2021 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 theme and vision for this year's parade is JINGLE | BELL | ROCK!
