The 15th annual Meadows of Dan Christmas Parade will take place on Saturday, Nov. 30, bringing holiday cheer to the community.
Parade organizer Trinity Goad said the festivities will begin at 3 p.m., with lineup starting at 2:30 p.m. on Light Ridge Road.
“The parade route follows Business Route 58,” Goad explained. “It starts at Light Ridge Road and ends at Meadows of Dan Baptist Church.”
This year’s parade is expected to feature around 40 entries, continuing the tradition of festive variety. As of Nov. 14, Goad confirmed 25 participants, including the Patrick County High School marching band.
“We’ve got floats, people riding in cars, lawnmowers, four-wheelers, and walkers,” Goad said. “Sometimes we have tractors too, but we don’t have any signed up so far this year.”
There is no cost or deadline to join the parade.
“As long as you’re lined up by 2:30 p.m., we are good,” Goad said. “We just ask participants to avoid hot-rodding and” remind them to take responsibility for their own vehicles or floats. “If something happens to your vehicle or your float or whatever, that’s your responsibility.”
After the parade, Meadows of Dan Baptist Church will offer complimentary refreshments, including cider, hot chocolate, and s’mores.
At 5 p.m., the Concord Primitive Baptist Church will host an old-fashioned Christmas singing to round out the evening.
