Brownsburg Christmas Under the Stars Parade & Tree Lighting

About this adventure

Christmas Under the Stars is Brownsburg's signature winter evening celebration, uniting the town for a dazzling nighttime holiday parade and community tree lighting. The evening kicks off with an illuminated parade rolling down Green Street, featuring dozens of brightly lit floats, fire trucks draped in thousands of glowing bulbs, marching bands, equestrian groups, and Santa Claus riding his lighted sleigh. Following the parade, festivities transition to Town Hall Green, where the community counts down to illuminate the towering town holiday tree. Children can visit Santa inside the heated Town Hall building, take photos with holiday costumed characters, and craft commemorative winter ornaments. Local non-profit organizations offer free hot chocolate and sugar cookies, while food trucks and holiday vendors line the surrounding downtown streets. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Broad paved sidewalks along Green Street and smooth grassy/paved areas around Town Hall Green allow easy stroller rolling. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Warm indoor restrooms with baby changing stations and quiet seating areas are open to the public inside Brownsburg Town Hall. • Age Suitability: Perfect for kids of all ages, parents, and community members gathering under the winter night sky. • Sensory Tips: Parade vehicles use headlights and festive lights; sirens are kept to a minimum, but noise-reducing headphones are helpful for parade-side watching.
