The annual Farmville Jaycees Christmas Parade is back this year with more than 60 different participants in its lineup, including Saint Nicholas himself.

This year’s event, titled “A Creative Christmas Parade,” is centered on “gratefulness and letting your mind wonder.”

“We are so excited to bring back the Farmville Jaycees Christmas Parade this year,” Farmville Jaycees State Director Warren Reid noted. “Last year’s parade would have been our 70th year, and I am just excited to be back! Alcova Mortgage: Tony Markland is back this year as a long standing sponsor. This year, we have The Tapestry Network as a new Lead Sponsor. They are an organization geared toward giving a voice to small businesses that target diversity and inclusion. We’ve got bands, surprise characters and our front line heroes that will serve as our grand marshal. We hope that everyone will come out and see Santa and have a great time!”

The parade is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 5, at 2 p.m.
