Hendersonville Christmas Parade

This year's theme: "A Storybook Christmas"

We picked this theme, in part, to honor the beloved Dolly Parton. Look for HolidayFest Boxes around the parade route, where we'll collect used books to donate. We hope to see floats decorated with your favorite storybook characters, themes, and yes, Dolly!
