November 15th has arrived – the application deadline for the Rome Christmas Parade. The parade is slated to traverse Broad Street in downtown Rome on the evening of Tuesday, November 28th (with a rain date of Thursday, November 30th).
The parade is a beloved local tradition that occurs every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, attests co-chair Janet Byington.
Those who would like to participate in the parade may apply online at a cost of $100 at www.romechristmasparade.com. A late fee of $50 will be attached after today.
This year’s theme is “CHRISTmas – It’s a Wonderful Life”. It’s a religious theme with a nod to a classic Christmas movie, says Byington.
The Grand Marshall of the 2023 Rome Christmas Parade will be announced next Tuesday, November 21st.
