Holiday parade brings joy of the season to PdC Dec. 1
The annual Holiday Parade presented by the Prairie du Chien Area Chamber of Commerce will be held Friday, Dec. 1, at 5:30 p.m., on Blackhawk Avenue downtown. Any business or organization wishing to participate in the parade is asked to begin lining up at 5 p.m. on St. Feriole Island. There is no fee to participate. Entrants are encouraged to decorate their floats with lights and holiday scenes and play seasonal music as well.
“This festive parade in historic downtown Prairie du Chien officially kicks off the holiday season and serves as a reminder to ‘Shop Local, Shop Prairie du Chien’ this holiday season for all gift giving needs,” said Chamber CEO Bob Moses.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will make a special trip to Prairie du Chien to wish all parade-goers a “Merry Christmas.”
Join Friends of the Villa Louis and Villa Louis staff as they celebrate the tradition of Prairie du Chien’s Holiday Parade at the historic Knowlton House, located at 109 W. Blackhawk Ave. Stop by before and after the parade to visit with Santa and sip on some hot apple cider and hot chocolate. This day only, there will also be a special holiday sale on new Friends of the Villa Louis gift memberships.
Bundle up and head downtown for this year’s annual event. For more information on how you can participate in the fun, contact the Prairie du Chien Area Chamber office at 326-8555.
