## About

The Lancaster Holiday Festival Parade is listed for Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon. The theme is Celebrate the Season, Serve with Heart. The page says the parade always falls on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. It starts and finishes at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds. The route leaves the fairgrounds, turns left onto Columbus Street, continues downtown, turns left onto Main Street, then turns left onto Broad Street, also called Fran Miller Way, and marches back into the fairgrounds. People who want to march can use the entry forms, which are due November 4. Maria Chandler is named as parade chairperson, and a phone number is printed. The page does not print a fee for people watching from the sidewalk.
