About this adventure
The 37th annual Horse-Drawn Carriage Parade fills historic downtown Lebanon with dozens of decorated horse-drawn carriages, in two runs: a Daylight Parade at 1:00 pm and the traditional Candlelight Parade at 7:00 pm. Around the parades, a Christmas festival and market runs from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm with food trucks, local vendors, holiday shopping and pictures with Santa. General admission to watch the parade is free; reserved viewing boxes are sold separately for groups. The Chamber posts a downtown public parking map and a 2026 shuttle map on the event page, and says it will add parade entertainment, route and festival details as the day approaches.
