Bend Christmas Parade

Ring in the holidays with the Bend Christmas Parade!

The Bend Christmas Parade is a cherished celebration of everything that makes our community special — creativity, togetherness, and the joy of the season. For generations, volunteers, families, and local organizations have come together to fill downtown Bend with light, music, and holiday cheer, creating memories that last far beyond the season.

Now, the Cascade Relays Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to giving back to and uplifting our community, is honored to help carry this beloved tradition forward. We’re grateful to support the incredible volunteers who make it happen each year and excited to see this treasured event continue to grow — a joyful reflection of the spirit we all share right here at home.

So bundle up, grab some cocoa, and join us as we celebrate the magic of the holidays — the spirit of the season truly shines brightest when we’re together.

This year’s theme is “Let Us Be Light.” This year has asked a lot of our community, and the parade is a time to come together, lift one another up, and remind each other that we are not alone.

Parade Viewing Details

Spectators are encouraged to line the route and enjoy the festive sights and sounds of this year’s parade. The parade will depart from Harmon Boulevard, travel down Newport Avenue, continue along Wall Street, then turn onto Franklin Avenue, finishing on Riverside in Drake Park just before the bridge. There are many great viewing spots along the way for families and friends to gather.

We look forward to ringing in the holidays with you on December 5th at 12 pm!
