## About

The Gallatin Area Chamber of Commerce parade steps off at noon in downtown Gallatin and closes with Santa Claus arriving to start the holiday season. School bands, floats, dancers and community groups take part, and the chamber asks every participating group to send a representative to one of three parade meetings at The Station on West Main Street beforehand. The parade runs about two hours; spectators line the downtown streets.
