Holiday spirit will be coming your way during the 2017 Stafford’s Downtown Petoskey Holiday Parade, Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 10 a.m. The parade will wind through Downtown streets and end at the Perry Hotel, where children will have those all-important conversations with Santa.
Downtown Petoskey is proud to announce this year’s parade will be an excellent way to support local families in need! As part of the Toys for Tots program, the U.S. Marines will collect new, unwrapped toys for the many northern Michigan families who will be unable to afford gifts during the holiday season.
In addition this year, on behalf of the Harvest Food & Supply Drive for the Women’s Resource Center Safe Home, Grain Train will be collecting items of need. Please consider using the Stafford’s Downtown Holiday Parade as a way to give back to the community!
There will be excellent performances by the Petoskey High School Marching Band, floats, and walking ensembles representing many businesses and nonprofits in the community, and much more.
This is an event for the whole family and one you won’t want to miss it!
A tradition that you don’t want to miss – includes Petoskey’s famous bump jumping competition and a fun cardboard challenge! Gather your boxes and duct tape and plan to enter the race!
Downtown Petoskey is partnering with the long-running Winter Carnival and will tap back into its roots with ice sculptures displayed on downtown sidewalks and in Pennsylvania Park! Look forward to ice skating, retail therapy, a ghost walk and more in Downtown Petoskey and other events at the Petoskey Winter Sports Park.
The Winter Carnival will celebrate its 89th year in 2017 – be a part of this fun tradition!
