Harrisburg’s 2022 Holiday Parade
It’ll soon be time to deck out Harrisburg with holiday cheer.
The city announced that it will ring in the season with its annual Holiday Parade on Nov. 18, featuring music, dance and floats.
This year’s parade, with the theme “Rockin’ Around the Burg,” will take place on N. Front and 2nd streets, from Market to North streets, starting at 10 a.m.
Attendees can watch giant parade balloons, including Elmo, Where’s Waldo and a snowman, float down the street. Local marching bands and dance teams will also perform as part of the parade. Designated performance zones will be on N. 2nd Street, in front of the stage beside Market Street and at State Street.
Judges will score and decide on which dance teams, marching bands and other community groups will be awarded cash prizes.
After the parade, visitors can head to Strawberry Square to meet Santa, enjoy free hot chocolate and cookies and find out which teams won the contest.
Attendees can use the code LUVHBG in the ParkMobile app for four free hours of parking downtown on Saturday. The Market Square Garage is $10 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., courtesy of Park Harrisburg.
The Market Street Bridge will be closed starting at 7 a.m. N. 2nd Street and Front Street will be closed from Market to Forster streets starting at 7 a.m.
