Highlights of the Holiday Horse Parade
Established in 2015 as an expansion of our original Santa Parade, the Holiday Horse Parade always takes place on the day after Thanksgiving.
The family-friendly event begins early with afternoon shopping, dining, and children's activities, culminating with the tree lighting ceremony, horse parade, and Santa Arriving!
Attendance and Parking is free but there is No Parking in Monument Square or on Scioto Street during the event.
