Believe
The Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that the 2024 Believe Christmas Parade sponsored by Dominion Energy will be held on Sunday, December 8th at 5 PM. An endearing local tradition since 1965, the Christmas Parade ushers in the holiday season with festive floats, live performances, and a special visit from Santa himself.
Last year, the GWCC had a record breaking 21,000 spectators in attendance. The early-evening timing allows the illuminated floats to shine against the backdrop of the night sky. Spectators are invited to become part of the spectacle by donning light-up accessories and attire, contributing to the dazzling atmosphere.
Local marching bands may apply with early access by contacting Lauren Moore, Vice President of Communications & Programming.
