Due to the forecast of inclement weather, the fourth annual Tigerville Christmas Parade is postponed until December 9 at 11 a.m.
“We realize that is will cause inconveniences and disappointments, but we appreciate everyone’s patience,” said Matt Jennings, event organizer and Owner of Cherokee Valley Course and Club. “This is a great event for our community. It’s a family atmosphere, and it represents what Tigerville is all about.”
The event is organized by various businesses in the local community, with North Greenville University (NGU) as the lead sponsor. The main stage area for the parade will be just east of the Tigerville Road and Chinquapin Road intersection, with food trucks, and craft vendors in an NGU parking area directly south of the university’s McCormick House on Tigerville Road.
Downtown festivities will begin at 10 a.m., and the parade will start at 11 a.m., traveling north from the Highway 414 and Highway 253 intersection to Tigerville Elementary School Road, then back east and south to Highway 414. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Tigerville Fire Department.
The parade will include various entries, such as church groups, classic tractors and sports cars, NGU student organizations, and the Blue Ridge Youth Association. It will conclude with the arrival of Santa Claus.
Following the parade, families will have the opportunity to have photos taken with Santa.
The 2023 Parade Committee includes Matthew and Michelle Lindsey, Matt and Renee Jennings, Joe and Kayla Gilreath, Pastor Tim McConnell, and NGU President, Dr. Gene Fant, and First Lady, Lisa Fant.
