The Hendersonville Christmas Parade Returns Saturday, Dec. 7!

The Hendersonville Christmas Parade returns on Saturday, December 7, at 10:30 am. Bring the entire family and secure your spot on Main Street!

The parade travels along Main Street from the intersection formerly known as Five Points to Caswell Street. The theme of the 2019 parade is “Home for the Holidays.” Special attractions will include the antique Car Club’s historic collection and the ever-popular planes from the WNC Air Museum flying down the parade route.

After the parade the Henderson County Heritage Museum will serve cider and cookies at the Historic Courthouse!
