65th Annual Hatboro Christmas Parade Kicks Off Sunday

HATBORO, PA — It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

As communities across the Philadelphia region begin decorating their downtowns, the Greater Hatboro Chamber of Commerce is preparing for the borough's 65th Annual Holiday Parade.

The parade will kick off on the north end of the York Road Business District at 1:45 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 23, the weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday. See police information on the parade below

This year's theme is “Small Town with a BIG Heart."

The chamber said it has ordered holiday street light decorations, and have sent letters to participants to produce "another fantastic display of holiday fun."

The parade of this size is also a financial undertaking for the chamber.

The parade committee, led by Chamber President and Hatboro Mayor Tim Schultz, wants residents to know that parade sponsors are always needed. Business sponsorships support this family holiday tradition and provide exposure for businesses to thousands of people who line Hatboro’s sidewalks during the parade.

The chamber has numerous parade sponsorships for the parade: Event, Division, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels.
