Kalamazoo’s Holiday Parade has been a cherished tradition for more than six decades. This year it will mark the start of the magical holiday season in Downtown Kalamazoo for the 62nd year. We hope you’ll join us for the Maple Hill Holiday Parade this year, and stick around after to experience all of the festivities going on downtown.
The parade steps off at 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 23. It starts on Lovell at Portage, west heading to Park St, north to Michigan Ave, east to Pitcher St, and south back toward Lovell.
After the parade, you can visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus and enjoy the festive activities planned downtown. Restaurants and shops will be open, too (many with specials), so you can get a head start on holiday shopping or grab a bite to eat.
