Think of all the things you’d expect to see in a hometown Christmas parade.
Let’s see, dogs? Check. Floats? Check. Marching Band? Check. Santa Claus? Of course! The 43rd Annual Cashiers Christmas Parade has them all and some entries that might surprise you.
Saturday, December 9, is the date and the theme is “Silver and Gold Bells: It’s Christmas Time in the Village,” in celebration of The Village Green’s 25th anniversary and the Cashiers Glenville Volunteer Fire Department’s 50th anniversary, who will be serving as Grand Marshals. Sponsors include the Cullasaja Club, Hattler Properties, Landmark Realty Group, Old Cashiers Realty, Harris Custom Builders and Zoller Hardware.
This year’s theme is especially important. Can you imagine Cashiers without The Village Green? It’s the center of the community and plays a most important role in the life of Cashiers Valley. The Cashiers Glenville Fire Department was founded in 1967 and its service covers approximately 130 square miles, including the communities of Cashiers, Sapphire Valley, Glenville, Big Ridge, Yellow Mountain, Pine Creek, Norton, Breedlove, and Heady Mountain. Both of these organizations deserve to be celebrated in grand style and you can expect to see lots of silver and gold on the parade route.
The parade will start at noon at Cashiers School Road, near Cornucopia Restaurant. It then travels north on Highway 107 to the Crossroads where Parade Emcees will announce participants via the amplification system. The parade then turns left and continues on Highway 64 West ending at the Community Center on Frank Allen Road, for the traditional Cashiers Cares free lunch and photos with Santa. Bring your cameras and start a family tradition the hometown way.
For those who can’t be there in person, they can watch the live streaming broadcast at live.HighSouthAdventures.com.
