One of the highlights of Christmas in Historic Springboro
is the annual parade.
Date: Saturday, November 22, 2025
Time: Noon
In 2024 we had 75 organizations participate. This is a great way to be involved in the festival and bring awareness for your company/organization. Each year the festival has a theme that we like to bring to life in our parade. The 2025 theme is Gnome for Christmas!
