SUMMARY:80th annual Asheville Holiday Parade 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Asheville Downtown Association is now accepting applications for the 80th Annual Asheville Holiday Parade, presented by Bojangles, taking place in Downtown Asheville on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 11 a.m.

This year’s theme, “A Vintage Holiday,” celebrates 80 years of holiday tradition in Downtown Asheville and invites participants to bring the nostalgia, charm and cheer of holidays past to the parade route.

Businesses, nonprofits, schools, community groups, performance organizations and other local participants are encouraged to get creative with vintage-inspired entries. Ideas might include 1950s holiday storefronts, old-fashioned ornaments and tinsel, vintage cars, Victorian holiday scenes, mid-century décor, nostalgic holiday movies, classic winter wonderlands, or entries inspired by holiday traditions from decades past.

Whether drawing inspiration from the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s, ’70s or another favorite era, participants are encouraged to put their own spin on what makes the holidays feel timeless.
