About

Chincoteague Chamber’s Olde Fashioned Christmas Parade

Chincoteague Island will host the 44th Annual Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade on December 7, 2024 (inclement weather date Friday, December 13) beginning at 6:00 p.m. This year’s theme, “Out of This World Christmas”, allows your imagination to expand to unknown heights! Gather friends and family to participate in the parade or just come to watch.

The parade will begin at the intersection of Main Street and Maddox Boulevard, head down Main Street, and end at the old Fire House so attendees can see enchanting floats, bands, marching units, decorated boats, fire companies from across the Eastern Shore, equestrian teams, classic cars, and more. Keep an eye out for Santa too! Entries may stop at the Judge’s Stand in front of Chincoteague Island Library for a short performance.

The Chincoteague Police Department will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for their Annual Toy Run as they pass by during the parade. Please consider making a donation and help put smiles on the faces of less-fortunate children this holiday season.

Festivities continue after the parade at the Chincoteague American Legion Post #159, 4023 Main Street. Visit with Santa while enjoying hot dogs and refreshments provided by the Kiwanis Club of Chincoteague. Please note: There will be no awards ceremony! Winners will be announced on Facebook and the Chamber website and will be contacted by the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce to arrange pick up of prizes. Find all the parade details and entry forms HERE. Entry deadline is November 30, 2024, so “reach for the stars” and “blast off” with your planning today!
