Blount County Christmas Parade

Description

The 2023 Blount County Christmas Parade is just around the corner. We are excited to account for this year's theme is a Community Christmas focused on Nonprofits in our area. As a token of appreciation, anyone with a 501(c)3 designation registered with the Tennessee Secretary of State will receive half off their parade registration. As you know, we use the funds in our registration to cover our liability insurance and parade fixed costs. This year, any remaining funds will be donated directly to the Empty Pantry Fund.
More details on registration costs, regulations, and other important details can be found in the paper application or on the website: www.blountcountychristmasparade.com.
