The McLean Revitalization Corporation proudly brings back

The McLean Winterfest Parade

 

 

Join us for a joyous celebration as we embrace the magic of winter and the spirit of the holidays. We welcome children, parents, businesses, and civic organizations to come together for a day filled with fun, community, and festive cheer.  With a mix of civic groups, school bands, scouts, floats, and vehicles, there will be something for everyone! The music and visually engaging displays will keep the crowd entertained. And with food vendors as well as 52 downtown McLean restaurants, no one will have to worry about going hungry while enjoying the festivities.

If you have questions about the parade, including how to sponsor, participate, or volunteer, please contact Winterfest 2024 Co-Chairs:
