The 2023 Elberton Christmas Parade, sponsored by the Elbert County Chamber of Commerce, will be held on Sunday, December 3, 2023 beginning at 4:00 pm. 

This family-friendly parade attracts spectators along Elbert St. (between Walgreens and Safehouse Ministries, plus downtown Elberton) Come early and set up your chair to get a good spot for the parade. You'll see bright holiday floats, dancers, local businesses, and even Santa Claus himself!

2023 Theme: "Rockin' Around... Elbert County"

Parade Route

Entries for the parade will line up on Heard Street. The Christmas Parade travels down Elbert St. starting at Safe House Ministries (Old Coca-Cola Building), travels on the four-lane to Walgreens, then turns left into downtown Elberton Square. It will then travel through the downtown square and continue back to Heard Street. It will travel down to the old Kimbrell’s Furniture parking lot where floats and other entries will dismount in the parking lot. There will be a Pep Rally in downtown Elberton Square right after the parade!

Thank you for bringing your holiday spirit and we look forward to a FUN parade!
