There’s no better way to wrap up the season than with the annual Newberry Christmas Parade! Presented by the Newberry Main Street Organization, in partnership with the City of Newberry, on Saturday December 20th. This beloved event fills the streets with dazzling floats created by our very own community, twinkling lights, and cheerful holiday music. Families, friends, and neighbors line the streets to watch the procession along Main Street, waving and cheering as it makes its way through downtown. Local businesses join in the fun with special holiday sales, treats, and activities, adding even more magic to the day. It’s a picture-perfect small-town celebration that captures the heart and spirit of Newberry during the holidays.

Get ready to get creative at the Anything But a Car Contest! Hosted by the Newberry Area Chamber of Commerce, this fun holiday competition invites you to decorate your most festive non-car ride — tractors, golf carts, wagons, bikes, scooters, anything goes! Participants will join the Christmas Parade, rolling together behind the NACC “float,” and the first-place winner will receive a $100 gift card and lead the group in the parade. It’s a joyful, community-centered way to show your holiday spirit and add extra magic to this year’s celebration. Let your imagination roll!

Gather your friends, family and coworkers and build the best Gingerbread House you can to compete in our 3rd annual Nana's Gingerbread Decorating Contest at 4:00pm. After enjoying the contest walk on over to Barry Park where the festivities will continue at 5:00pm. There will be snow flurries, music and fun while you watch the parade come through downtown.

There’s something special about a chilly December evening spent beneath the stars.

As the screen lights up and The Polar Express begins, the park glows with twinkling lights and the warmth of community. It’s a night of magic, laughter, and togetherness — the kind of Christmas memory that reminds us all to believe in the wonder of the season.
