The West Chester Christmas Parade is one of the region’s most-loved holiday traditions! Voted “Best Local Parade” and “Best Family-Friendly Event” by readers of Main Line Today, and presented by the Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce, the hometown parade delights fans of all ages as it kicks off a month full of celebrations during Chester County Hospital Lights Up Holiday Weekends in West Chester.

Parade night kicks off Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. with the official lighting of West Chester’s stunning 25-foot-tall Christmas tree on the lawn of the Historic Chester County Courthouse. The spectacle continues at 7 p.m. as 6abc’s Adam Joseph and WMMR’s Kathy Romano emcee the parade featuring local favorites — including more marching bands by popular demand! — as well as exciting newcomers and the most-anticipated appearance of the year: Santa!
