Experience the Magic of a Small-Town Christmas
Experience the magic of a genuine Hallmark small-town Christmas at the 61st Annual Ozark Christmas Parade. Held in the evening to showcase the sparkle of the holiday season, this beloved community tradition winds through Historic Downtown Ozark on the Saturday before Thanksgiving each year, warmly welcoming visitors and creating unforgettable Christmas memories for families throughout the region.
In 2026, the parade theme, “Patriotic Christmas: Stars, Stripes & Christmas Lights,” celebrates the 250th Birthday of the United States of America, honoring this once-in-a-generation national milestone through a festive blend of patriotism, hometown pride, and Christmas magic. Parade participants will be encouraged to creatively incorporate red, white, and blue alongside traditional holiday décor, bringing America’s story to life in a uniquely Ozark way.
Additionally, the event includes a live stream broadcast of the parade, expanding visibility and extending the reach of sponsorships beyond those attending in person.
