Newport Christmas parade is December 9
The Newport Christmas parade will be held Thursday, December 9, 2021 beginning at 6 p.m. Entries are now being accepted at the Newport Area Chamber of Commerce for floats, walking groups, antique vehicles, beauty queens, horseback riders, school clubs and organizations, etc.
Participants will be traveling down Hwy. 69 to Malcolm Avenue then down to Village Mall parking lot. Spectators are asked to avoid standing near other groups along the route. Awards will be given for first, second and third place for both the commercial and non-commercial categories. Entry is free, and participants may choose their own holiday theme. However, Santa Claus will be flying in early from the North Pole as the last entry in the parade, so please do not plan a “fake” Santa on your float. Float judging will begin no later than 5:30 p.m. Please include the name of your business or organization somewhere on your float for faster judging.
