Citizens Rally to Save Garner Christmas Parade
Not to be denied in the face of staff shortages in town, a group of citizens have rallied to the rescue.
In coordination with the Town of Garner, Garner Fire & Rescue, and the Garner Police Department, a community-led parade is in the making for December 18th in downtown Garner.
With some details still to be worked out, nearly 2 dozen groups have already confirmed their participation in the parade. All hoping to bring back this great Garner tradition, even if on a slightly smaller scale.
2021 The Garner Christmas Parade is a citizen-led community Christmas Parade.
It’s state goal is “to create and host a festive and family-friendly Christmas Parade that reflects Garner’s values and one that is local, inclusive, and bridges Garner’s past with Garner’s future.
The holiday season is about love, kindness, and giving. It is families and our community coming together to celebrate our town and making great memories for our kids and all of us that are kids at heart.”
