Registration for BG’s holiday parade is open

The Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce is accepting registrations for the 2024 Bowling Green Community Holiday Parade, which is scheduled for Nov. 23.

Units will step off at approximately 9:50 a.m. with the first unit arriving in Downtown Bowling Green at 10 a.m. This year’s theme is “Snow Globe Holiday.”

Registration is $25, or $15 for non-profits, with the fees supporting band stipends, parade publicity, general administrative costs, as well as the cost of WTOL broadcasting the parade.

Sponsorships and donations help offset the parade’s expenses and are greatly appreciated. Sponsorship and registration forms can be found at bgchamber.net/parade. The deadline to register your unit for the parade is Nov. 1, or when capacity is reached.

The chamber cannot put on this community event without the generosity and support of local organizations and citizens. Sponsorship tiers range from $50 to $1,000; to see how your contribution is honored, refer to the online sponsorship form on the Holiday Parade homepage of the chamber website.

Presenting sponsors for the 69th annual Bowling Green Community Holiday Parade include the City of Bowling Green, Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce, and Wood County Hospital. WTOL Channel 11 will once again broadcast the parade live.

The chamber is looking for participants to help celebrate the many reasons to love the Bowling Green community. Individuals, organizations, and businesses are encouraged to use this opportunity to be recognized for the positive contribution they have made to their profession and to the community.
