March in the Kris Kringle Procession

Non-profit groups are invited to participate in the annual Kris Kringle Procession! The procession theme, “Holiday Traditions,” compliments our goal of recreating the magic of the ‘old world’ atmosphere that originated during Frederick’s founding.

The festive sight of holiday characters marching through downtown makes this a truly enchanting event to ring in the holiday season.

PROCESSION ROUTE

The processions starts at the corner of East Patrick and South Carroll Streets, heads west on Patrick Street, turns right and heads north on Market Street, turns left and continues west on Second Street, crosses Bentz Street and concludes at the Baker Park Bandshell with the closing ceremonies.
