The 2025 BG Community Holiday Parade will be held November 22. 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!

Want to reminisce about the Holiday Parades of the past? Check out our collection of vintage Holiday Parade photos sent to us by B.J. Bess of Grasonville, Maryland!
