Sunday, December 8, 2024 — Downtown Bel Air

The Bel Air Christmas Parade is a tradition that has been going on for over 30 years! This is a time where our community comes together in historic Bel Air to celebrate a special time of the year. 

Scheduled to Appear

The 34th Annual Bel Air Christmas Parade begins at 3:30 pm on Sunday, December 8. The lineup is as festive as ever with stilt walkers and acrobats, local high school marching bands, costumed characters and mascots, beauty queens, dancers, floats, musical groups, and the guests of honor, Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Join us after the parade for more festivities in Shamrock Park with a community bonfire, a sing-along, and the lighting of the Town of Bel Air’s newly planted 30-foot Norway spruce Christmas tree.

Event is weather permitting.
