The White Lake Area Chamber & Visitors Bureau presents the 71st annual White Lake Area Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 7th at 2:00pm. Festive parade participants will travel the parade route from Whitehall to Montague along Business-31. The American Legion and VFW proudly lead the event, along with Shepherd and Shepherd Law, our generous Christmas Parade sponsor. Entrepreneur of the Year award recipient Kara Smith with The Gnarly Heifer will help lead the parade as the grand marshal.
The 71st annual parade promises to be entertaining with over 50 floats and marchers from local businesses, non-profit organizations, and individuals. Always a crowd pleaser, music from the spirited Montague and Whitehall High School’s marching bands will fill the air.
As the Grand Finale, Santa will make his entrance with the help of our Santa Sponsor, Lighthouse Title Agency, and will ride in style thanks to Country Dairy Inc. Following the parade, Santa will visit with children at his home outside of Montague City Hall, located on Ferry Street. Children can continue to visit with Santa at his Montague house on Fridays and Saturdays in December, please contact the City of Montague for hours.
