Jingle Bell Parade
December 5, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Join us for a beloved holiday tradition! The Jingle Bell Parade returns to downtown Grand Haven on Saturday, December 5, bringing the community together for a magical evening of holiday lights and cheer.
Get into the festive spirit with over 80 sparkling, holiday-themed floats, joyful music, and special appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus!
The parade kicks off at 6:00 PM on Franklin Street, travels west to Harbor Drive, heads north along Harbor, turns east onto Washington Avenue, and concludes at Central Park for the community tree-lighting ceremony.
At Central Park, gather with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and friends for a Christmas carol sing-along. The Salvation Army will be serving hot chocolate, and local businesses will spread cheer by handing out candy to the crowd.
