Description

Oconomowoc Christmas parade 2021 -- Our Hometown Christmas! The Oconomowoc Kiwanis Breakfast Club presents "Our Hometown Christmas" Christmas Parade 2021!  We hope this year's parade will bring a lot of cheer to the community and spread JOY!  Like last year, we are requiring each unit to include music and lights as we want to continue to make this parade the most spirited for our community. The parade route this year is going to be the same longer route as last year. The parade route is as follows: Fowler Park (Oakwood Ave.) south to Wisconsin Ave. turning west at the round-a-bout and continuing downtown Main Street and turning north on N Lake Rd. We can't guarantee where spectators will be on that road but all units will continue to disburse back to the staging area (turning East on Lisbon Rd.) or just continue on Hwy 67. This route helped last year with the bottleneck we've experienced before when disbursing at the First Bank parking lot. Any questions regarding this, feel free to ask. To register as a parade entry, please click the link for "Tickets."  Deadline to register as a parade unit is November 27th.  All parade sponsors are to register as "non-profit." Just a couple of parade guidelines: Please no Santa's in your unit.  We already have Santa who will make an appearance at the end of the parade.Our Hometown Christmas is the theme so let your imagination run wild!  This can be done with music, decorations, costumes or however you can get creative with the theme.
