64th Annual Sevierville Christmas Parade

Expand to see the parent tip

Sevierville’s hometown parade steps off promptly at 11 am with a marching band, car clubs, pageant winners and baton twirlers.

The route runs north on Forks of the River Parkway, right on Main Street and right on Court Avenue, and the whole parade takes about 30 minutes to pass any one spot.

Parent tip: Stand along Court Avenue near the courthouse for the most festive view, and arrive 30 minutes to an hour early like the locals do.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
