Kannapolis Christmas Parade 2018

The Kannapolis Christmas Parade returns at 6 p.m. on December 8.

Thousands of lights decorate the parade entries which makes this one of the holidays most special nighttime events in the state. This is a great Christmas holiday tradition for you and your family to enjoy.

This year the parade will feature a new route. The parade will begin at its usual location at the intersection of South Main Street and Dale Earnhardt Boulevard. It will then travel down Main Street and end at the intersection of Main Street and Laureate Way. There are new drop off and pick up areas for parade participants which will more easily accommodate traffic and avoid construction in downtown Kannapolis.

The parade is sponsored by Cannon Pharmacy and the City of Kannapolis. Cash awards will be presented in the categories of bands, churches, civic organizations and schools.
