Kick off the holiday season with our annual Downtown Racine Holiday Parade and Tree-Lighting Ceremony on Saturday, November 8th! The Downtown Racine Corporation is now accepting applications for parade participants—don’t miss your chance to be part of this festive celebration! Applications are available at RacineDowntown.com or can be picked up at 425 Main St. and are due by October 31, 2025.
The parade will begin at 5:30 pm on the west side of the State Street Bridge and will march down Main Street, turn onto 6th Street, and conclude at City Hall. With dazzling floats, marching bands, and plenty of holiday cheer, this is an event the whole family will love! The parade will wrap up at approximately 6:45 pm.
But the magic doesn’t stop there! Immediately following the parade head over to Monument Square for our highly anticipated Tree-Lighting Ceremony, where Santa Claus will illuminate the Holiday Tree in a spectacular display. Stick around afterward for a special fireworks show that will light up the night sky, adding the perfect touch to this festive evening.
