Pocomoke City will be transformed into a “Winter Wonderland”, playing host to one of Delmarva’s largest night time Christmas parades.
To enter go to our new website at pocomokechristmasparade.com to register your group or origination. Deadline is Wednesday Nov 27 at midnight.
Always held on the first Monday night after Thanksgiving, the Pocomoke parade has become an Eastern Shore tradition and will attract over 100 units from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia along with thousands of spectators.
Each year the parade features marching bands representing high and middle schools from seven counties in three states. Also featured will be beautifully decorated and lighted floats entered by schools, civic organizations, churches, and commercial enterprises.
Clowns, marching units, fire departments, equestrian units, and of course Santa Claus will round out the two-hour event, slated to kick-off at 7:00 p.m. sharp. The route will take the parade north on Market Street beginning at 14th Street and ending at the Pocomoke River.
Professional judges, including members of the National Judges Association (NJA), will score entries in many different categories.
Cash prizes and trophies will be awarded immediately following the event to the top entries in each category.
