Holiday Light Parade

Kick off the holiday season with one of Kennett Square’s most beloved traditions—the Holiday Light Parade, now on a new date: Saturday, November 22, coinciding with the opening weekend of Long

wood Gardens’ spectacular holiday light displays.

This dazzling event dr

aws thousands to historic Kennett Square to celebrate the magic of the season. Last year’s parade welcomed nearly 14,000 spectators and featured around 100 lighted floats, marching bands, dance groups, community organizations, trucks, tractors, and more—each covered in twinkling lights and holiday cheer.

At the end of the parade, Santa Claus himself arrives to light the community tree, provided by Kennett Collaborative, just as snow begins to fall—a perfectly timed, heartwarming moment that delights attendees of all ages.

Join us for an unforgettable night of lights, music, and festive fun as Kennett Square shines bright for the holidays!
