2026 Calabash Christmas Group Parade Registration

Each holiday season, our community comes together to celebrate with joy, tradition, and a touch of Christmas magic. Local groups, organizations, businesses, and individuals are invited to join the Calabash Christmas Parade.

Floats, trailers, extensively decorated vehicles, walking groups, and interactive groups (such as dancers, musicians, carolers, or performers). These allow for more lights, decorations, and direct interaction with the community, which really shine after dark.

Vehicle Entries (SUVs, trucks, cars):

Vehicles may be approved if they are decorated extensively with lights and displays that truly add to the holiday atmosphere. We especially welcome vehicles that have become “parade favorites” for their creativity and effort.

➡️ Please include details of your planned decorations in your application for committee review.

Approved entrants will receive a confirmation email with parade rules and details. Priority will be given to entries that highlight the holiday theme and community spirit. All floats and vehicles must be fully decorated and well-lit with Christmas lights, illuminated displays, or other bright decorations (single strands of lights are not sufficient).

🚫 Political messages, controversial content, or material inappropriate for children are not permitted.
