  • Johnson City Christmas Parade 2026

    Downtown Johnson City 300 E. Main St, Johnson City, Tennessee

    We'll be fine and dandy... because it's time to start thinking about parade season! And this year, we’re putting a little Dolly in your Christmas with our 2026 Johnson City Christmas Parade theme: Holly Dolly Christmas! This year’s parade will honor the life, legacy, and unmistakable Christmas spirit of the late Dolly Parton, a true Tennessee icon who reminded us all to dream big, love bigger, and always make room for a little sparkle. So pull out the rhinestones, the big hair, all the Dolly magic you can find, and get ready for parade applications to open on October 1 at 10 a.m. And mark your calendar for Sat., Dec. 5 at 10:30am for the parade!
