The 40th Annual Belmont Shore Christmas Parade returns on Saturday, December 7th, 2024 from 6pm to 9pm. Presented by the Belmont Shore Business Association.
The Belmont Shore Christmas Parade is an annual event that brings the community together to celebrate the holiday season. This parade showcases local businesses, schools, and community groups and attracts tens of thousands of residents and visitors each year.
The theme of this year’s parade is “A Holiday Tradition,” honoring our 40 years of producing the parade and the tradition it has become for so many. The Parade is open and free for all ages to enjoy. The route is 1.2 miles long and begins promptly at 6pm starting at Livingston & 2nd Street marching east along 2nd Street turning around at Bay Shore Avenue and returning back to Livingston.
The parade will be live streamed, with special guest EmCee Bob Goen and Marianne Curan with interviewing and eyes on the street Lisa Ramelow. Filmed by Grant White Productions and hosted with emcee’s and announcers. Home viewers can visit belmontshore.org to watch the parade in real time.
