Annual Bryson City Christmas Parade
December 5, 2026, 2 pm
“The Biggest Little Christmas Parade in the Smokies” is always held on the first Saturday in December at 2 pm in downtown Bryson City. It’s a true community effort with local businesses, churches, and school groups pitching in to create floats around a theme. There will be marching bands, fire trucks, classic cars, sports teams, beauty queens and more. Walking groups like PAWS, our local animal shelter, a grand marshal, and of course Santa.
Be sure to make this one of your annual holiday traditions.
