For more than 75 years, the Poinsettia Christmas Parade has been the highlight of Greenville’s holiday events. Families look forward to gathering along Main Street for a spectacular show of floats, dancers, marching bands, and more. It kicks off the holiday season in style. Be sure to arrive at least an hour early in order to reserve your spot for the free 6 o’clock parade. Visitors with children are encouraged to bring a bag to collect candy, and be sure to bring a warm coat to this unforgettable Christmas event in the heart of downtown Greenville! NOTE: This event was scheduled for Dec. 2nd, but was postponed due to weather conditions.

Visitors can vote for their favorite exhibit to win "People's Choice Award." Held in the Residence Inn and Suites, this event is in the perfect location for a winter stroll through downtown Greenville.
