The 2026 BG Community Holiday Parade will be held November 21st! Our parade includes dozens of floats by local organizations and marching bands from around Northwest Ohio. It draws thousands of watchers to downtown Bowling Green, and will be televised through WTOL, making it the largest holiday parade in Northwest Ohio. Santa himself makes an appearance at the end of the parade, as the crowd enjoys the holiday-themed floats, live performances and music, and, of course, candy!

Check out our Holiday Parade Experiences auctions and raffle!
