Pioneer Christmas Parade

Our second annual free Pioneer Christmas Parade will be a time of fun, food, and fellowship as community members gather together to bring awareness to local businesses and our local history. Participants will parade around the settlement at Noon! Spectators may bring a chair or quilt to sit on while observing the parade or watch from the comfort of their vehicle! Come and support the participants and enjoy seeing the creativity of the entries along with Santa! A miniature Southside Village display build by a local artist will be in the pavilion along with refreshments for sale (cash only). Gates open for parade participants and spectators at 10:30am.  

For those interested in participating in the parade, please email Director Kristy Proctor (kristy@visitclarksvilletn.com) for an entry application or call her at 931-551-6535 to register by phone. Applications are due by Dec. 7, 2025. Each parade entry is only $5 and will be collected the day of the parade! This year, the fee will be strictly enforced. Vehicles, horses, walkers, bands, floats, church groups, local businesses, tractors, etc. are encouraged to join the parade. It is a great way to advertise a local business and draw attention to an organization.

No admission cost or reservations are required for spectators. If you would like to volunteer to help with the parade or have questions, call Kristy Proctor (931-551-6535).
