It’s a Red, White & Blue Christmas!

The Newton Holiday Parade will be held on Saturday, November 26th, and we’re inviting Santa, Uncle Sam, and YOU to celebrate a red, white, and blue Christmas! Here’s how you can get involved:

• Become a parade sponsor! Sponsors receive recognition before, during, and after the parade, beginning at only $100! See the sponsorship packages here and send your commitment by November 1st.
   
• Showcase your group or business in the parade! We welcome participation in a number of ways — your team could walk in the parade, or drive a branded vehicle, or prepare a float in this year’s theme to showcase your creative talents! There is no cost to participate and it’s a lot of fun! Find the participant application here and return it by November 10th.
   
• Do you own a convertible car? We’d love to have you drive one of our pageant winners or other dignitaries along the parade route! Let us know if you can!
   
• Volunteer! We need a few helping hands on the day of the parade to help organize the marching groups and more. Let us know if you’re able to assist!

More information about the event is available on their website. Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to them at office@greaternewtoncc.com or call (973) 300-0433.
