Jewett City Snowflake Parade

Join in or stop by the Snowflake Parade, held in Jewett City! Families can decorate wagons, bikes and businesses/organizations can enter large or small floats to help celebrate our community & the upcoming holiday season... together.

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow on the snow-dusted streets, the annual Christmas parade comes to life. Families gather along the curbs, bundled up in scarves and mittens, their breath visible in the crisp air. The anticipation is palpable, and children’s eyes sparkle with excitement.

🎅 Santa Claus leads the procession, perched atop a beautifully adorned float. His crimson suit shimmers, and his white beard billows in the breeze. He waves to the crowd, his hearty laugh echoing as he tosses candy canes to eager hands. The jingle of bells follows him, creating a magical rhythm.

👩‍🎄 Mrs. Claus rides beside him, her presence equally enchanting. She wears a cozy red cloak, her silver hair peeking out from under a fur-trimmed hood. Her basket overflows with gingerbread cookies, which she shares generously with wide-eyed children. Her warm smile warms hearts as much as the setting sun.

The parade itself is a kaleidoscope of colors: marching bands in festive uniforms, twirling dancers in sequined costumes, and intricately crafted floats adorned with twinkling lights.  The Saturday before Thanksgiving will be an opportunity to have families come together to welcome the holiday season!
