Cambridge Dorchester Christmas Parade

Kick off the holiday season with the 80th annual Cambridge-Dorchester County Christmas Parade - a Cambridge, Maryland tradition since 1946! Live entertainment, floats, marching bands, and smiles. A great way to get in the spirit of the season. This year's theme is "A Hard Candy Christmas." The parade begins at Long Wharf (High and Water Streets), travels along High Street, turns on Poplar, which turns into Race Street. Parade ends at Race and Washington Streets. Be sure to visit the Crab Basket Christmas Tree at Race and Gay Streets while you're in Downtown Cambridge! 

Enjoy live music and caroling with local musician Anna Burgess at 4pm before the event by the reviewing stand, Race and Gay Streets. And don't miss the Crab Basket Christmas Tree, right next to the reviewing stand! While you're in town, stop by the Christmas Train Garden a few steps away on Gay Street. 

This event is put on by volunteers and relies on donations for trophies and more. Donate here. 

The full parade line-up will be posted on the Christmas Parade Facebook page a day or two before the event.
