Celebrate the beginning of the holiday season with the Holidaze Festival Parade with activities all day long in Willmar.

A fire truck decorated with colorful lights parades down a street at night in the Willmar Holidaze Parade. Two costumed figures are on top of the truck's ladder, waving to the crowd. Spectators line the sidewalk, watching the festive display.

Kick off the holiday season with the Holidaze Festival in Willmar Saturday, November 23, 2024.

Besides the parade at 6:30 pm, there will be other activities starting at 2:30 pm, all located in downtown Willmar.

A child stands between Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, sitting on a blue couch. The child is wearing a bear-themed hat and holding a candy cane, while Santa and Mrs. Claus are dressed in traditional festive attire.

Be sure to dress accordingly for outdoor activities! Activities include:

  • Holiday movie showing: The Grinch
  • Free hot chocolate and cookies (starting at 4pm, while supplies last)
  • Meet Santa
  • Family activities
  • Festival of Trees at the Barn Theatre
