Annual Pocomoke City Christmas Parade

A POCOMOKE CITY TRADITION
FOR OVER 35 YEARS





Monday night, November 28, 2011, Pocomoke City will be transformed into a “Winter Wonderland” as Pocomoke City plays host to one of Delmarva’s largest nighttime Christmas parades.

Always held on the first Monday night after Thanksgiving, the Pocomoke parade has become an Eastern Shore tradition and will attract over 100 units from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia along with thousands of spectators.

Each year the parade features marching bands representing high and middle schools from seven counties in three states.  Also featured will be beautifully decorated and lighted floats entered by schools, civic organizations, churches, and commercial enterprises.
 
Clowns, marching units, fire departments,
equestrian units,
and of course Santa Claus
will round out the two-hour event, slated to kick-off
at 7:00 p.m. sharp. 

The route will take the parade north on Market Street

beginning at  14th Street  and ending at the Pocomoke River.
                                         
In the event of inclement weather, the parade will be postponed until Tuesday, November 29, at 7:00 p.m.

Deadline to register in November 25th
