Downtown Hendersonville’s Christmas Parade Returns Saturday, Dec. 3rd

On Saturday, December 3, Hendersonville’s Christmas parade organized by the Hendersonville Merchants & Business Association will be happening in downtown Hendersonville.

This year’s parade will take place in the evening starting at 6:00 pm with the theme ‘Christmas Lights.’ The parade route stretches from 5 Points to the southern end of Main Street at the Caswell Street intersection. No parking will be allowed on Main Street after 4:00 pm.

Around 5:30 pm the streets in red on the street closure map will close to traffic in preparation for the parade. Traffic will be detoured using the routes in yellow. The additional street closures have been added to detour traffic further away from the parade areas and provide additional police presence on Main Street. Streets will reopen following the conclusion of the parade and once attendees have dispersed.

Organizers expect there to be a large turnout for the parade with lots of traffic. Officials encourage everyone to give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.

The Hendersonville Merchants and Business Association has arranged for the parade to be streamed by TOTAL Sports Network. Their cameras will be at the historic courthouse plaza and they ask that spectators do not sit in the filming area in the plaza.
