Shippensburg’s Christmas Parade | November 22

The 28th Annual Shippensburg Christmas Parade will take place Friday, November 22, 2019 at 7PM.  Sponsored by the Downtown Organizations Investing Together (D.O.I.T), the parade will feature marching bands, school groups, church youth groups, Boy and Girl Scouts, businesses and other organizations, and Santa Claus.

The theme is “A Candy Cane Christmas.”

The parade procession will begin on N.

And, to double down on the holiday festivities a Christmas Market will be held at the Shippensburg First Church of God’s annex on the corner of King and Prince streets.  Food and vendors will open at 5PM.  Spruce Run Farm will have live reindeer for you to visit from 5 – 9PM too!
