McCaffrey's Super Market's Holiday Parade – December 8

Participate and come out for McCaffrey’s Super Market’s Holiday Parade!

This huge event, sponsored by the Newtown Business Association, is a family tradition and continues to provide a magical experience for the whole community.  Don’t let your business miss out on the opportunity to be involved in this great event.

The parade kicks off at 2PM from The Stocking Works on South State Street, travels north to Washington Avenue and makes a left. Then continues east one block to Sycamore Street and then make another right turn. The Parade will then continue north on Sycamore Street and ends at Durham Road.  Last year over 50 groups participated, over 1800 people participated and several thousand lined the streets to watch.

A hand picked panel will be reviewing every participant in the parade and deciding on the best based on their presentation, creativity and theme.  We will be announcing the recognition for these categories shortly after the parade and will be posting this information on the Newtown Business Associations website and through local media.

We look forward to making this year’s parade better than ever.
