Mark your calendars! Downtown Macon is preparing for the Macon It Home for the Holidays Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at 4:00 p.m – a festive tradition that brings our community together each holiday season.
This year’s Macon It Home for the Holidays Christmas Parade will begin at Poplar and 5th Street, travel down Cherry Street, and continue along 2nd Street and Mulberry Street before finishing on MLK Boulevard.
More than 60 units, including community organizations, marching bands, performers, and a special appearance from Santa, will take part in this year’s procession.
This free, family-friendly event offers residents a joyful way to come together in the heart of downtown. Bring the family, find a good viewing spot along the route, and enjoy one of Macon-Bibb’s favorite holiday traditions!
