Downingtown Good Neighbor Christmas, Inc., is proud to present the Downingtown Christmas Parade this Saturday, December 13th at 3:00 pm.
Participants in this year’s parade include Downingtown Blue and Gold Marching Band, Bishop Shanahan Marching Band, Valley Forge Highland Pipe Band, Duffy String Band, Onyx + Honey, and Galena Brass. In addition, there will be floats, walking units, dance and twirling units, fire engines, and more.
“And of course, no Christmas parade is complete without Santa coming to town on a magnificent float provided by Tree House World,” said Dianne Plaugher, co-chair of Downingtown Good Neighbor Christmas, Inc.
The parade route is on Lancaster Avenue (Business Route 30), and it begins around Gable Avenue and travels east along Lancaster Avenue and ends at Green Street. Two blocks shorter this year due to road detours.
“We would like to thank our sponsors, who without their contributions the parade would not be possible,” Plaugher said. “In addition, we are grateful for the support provided by the Borough of Downingtown elected officials and staff, public works, police department and area file police.”
Downingtown police have announced that all major roadways through Downingtown Borough will be detoured. Motorists are urged to avoid delays and use Route 30 Bypass as an alternative for East and West traffic. The Christmas Parade should be completed by 5:30 p.m. and all roadways be re-opened.
