We joyfully invite everyone to attend the 2026 Grandin Village Holiday Children's Parade.
A decades-long tradition, the Children's Parade is always held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
You are also invited to attend the after-party following the parade. During the parade, we will judge every group. At the after-party, we’ll present awards for best float, most creative, and biggest group. The after-party will gather in the lot behind the Cardinal Bicycle building, located at 1312 Winborne Street SW. Food and refreshments will be available inside. We will have a station set up for children to write letters to Santa and we invite them to drop the letters in Santa's mailbox located near the front door at Fire Station 7 on Memorial Ave. The Grandin Theatre will be showing the Charlie Brown Christmas movie at 11:45 this year.
