Raleigh Christmas Parade
The Raleigh Christmas Parade, presented since 1944 by the Greater Raleigh Merchants Association, will take place on November 20, 2010, in downtown Raleigh.
Attracting an estimated 60,000 spectators from across the state to downtown Raleigh and reaching more than 250,000 through television and live video streaming on WRAL.com, the parade is the largest single-day event in Raleigh each year. And it's the largest parade between Atlanta and Washington, D.C. GRMA thanks our generous sponsor, WRAL, for supporting this North Carolina tradition!
