Evansville’s Christmas Parade on North Main was back for another year of holiday celebration, community pride, and festive fun. Following 2024’s tremendous success—with nearly 100 parade entries and over 6,000 attendees organizers were excited to make 2025’s event even more memorable.
 

The 2025 theme, Parade of Champions, shone a spotlight on Evansville’s rich sports heritage, honoring local athletes, teams, and sports icons who have inspired generations. Spectators saw floats and performances celebrating champions from every corner of the community.

Due to overwhelming turnout in 2024, Santa’s Workshop began even earlier to ensure every child has time to meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Families were invited to join us at Hope City Church for crafts, treats, games, and free photos with Santa.
