Tips & Advice
- Willamette Falls Drive closes completely to traffic for a stretch around the parade, so plan your drive and arrive before the closure begins.
- Dress warmly and bring layers, because this is an evening parade held outdoors in early December along the Historic Willamette Main Street area.
- If you can help, sign up through the 2026 Holiday Parade Volunteer Sign Up, because organizers need a large volunteer force to keep spectators safe.
- If your group wants to enter a float, build your idea around this year's 'Light Up the Night' theme and watch for entry applications to open.
