Dallas, GA – Holiday crowds are expected to fill South Main Street this December as the 33rd Annual Invitational Dallas Christmas Parade returns to downtown Dallas on Saturday, December 6, 2025. The long-running event, produced by the Rotary Club of Paulding County, will again feature a live broadcast hosted by Sheriff Ashley Henson and Missy Cusack near the First Baptist Church of Dallas.
According to the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, the parade will begin at 11 a.m. and will showcase special performances, including an opening number by CK Danceworks. Residents are encouraged to arrive early to secure viewing spots across from the main stage, where the broadcast will be recorded.
The theme for the 2025 parade is “Unite for Good at Christmas,” emphasizing community connection and service during the holiday season.
Event organizers announced that registration is officially open for parade entries. Local organizations, schools, churches, businesses, and performance groups are invited to submit float and participation applications. According to the Rotary Club, interested participants can apply online through the official event site.
The parade has traditionally drawn thousands of spectators from across Paulding County and the greater northwest Georgia region, and officials expect a strong turnout again this year. Road closures and staging preparations will begin before the 11 a.m. roll-out time, and attendees should plan for heavy foot traffic in the downtown core.
