27th Annual Wellington Holiday Parade
Sunday, December 12, 2010 1:00 PM
Celebrating the 27th annual Holiday Parade, this fun-filled, family event is a favorite of the western communities attracting more than 25,000 spectators cheering on hundreds of parade participants and joining in the fun. Parade entries include exhilarating marching bands, talented baton twirlers and majorettes from local high schools, magnificent strutting horses representing the equestrian community, and creative floats reflecting the parade theme, which this year is “HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS” – Connecting Family, Friends and Community. Colorful costume characters and hilarious clowns entertain the children along the parade route on Forest Hill Boulevard through the beautiful Village of Wellington. The parade mission is to raise funds for scholarships awarded to deserving high school seniors attending western community schools.
Sponsored by Wellington Regional Medical Center, the Holiday Park is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wellington Community Center and features bounce houses, clowns, face painters, food and much more to entertain the throngs of children as they excitedly await the Holiday Parade and the appearance of Santa Claus who flies in from the North Pole to greet them.
