A Cherished Tradition for Over 70 Years
​The West Bend Christmas Parade holds the distinction of being the oldest continuous Christmas parade in Wisconsin!

The annual Christmas Parade has been a cherished family tradition in the West Bend community since 1952! Marking the beginning of the festive Christmas season, thousands of people come together on West Bend's Main Street to celebrate family and the magic of Christmas.​ This year marks the 72nd year of this time-honored tradition!

​Thank you to West Bend Community Television for recording and editing the 2024 Parade!

We're always looking for a few good elves.
Our volunteers are the true elves, working throughout the year to make the annual West Bend Christmas Parade a success. We have plenty of room for avid Santa fans!

​A big thank you to all parade participants.

​We appreciate your enthusiasm in creating the West Bend holiday spirit!
