Light Up the Night Holiday Parade 2023

The Hillsborough/Orange County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the return of the Light Up The Night Hillsborough Holiday Parade on Sunday, December 3rd, 2023 at 4:00 pm.  Downtown Hillsborough will welcome thousands of residents and visitors to enjoy the popular annual event, as part of the Hillsborough Hometown Holidays Festival season.

The parade will feature dignitaries such as Mayor Jenn Weaver and Town Board members, bands, local and area businesses, cheerleaders and dance troupes, well-known mascots, and, of course, Santa Claus! The parade will travel through downtown Hillsborough, south on Churton St from Corbin St to Margaret Lane, and end at the intersection of Margaret Lane & Cameron St. Make plans to join us on the Old Courthouse Square for the annual tree lighting ceremony and community singing immediately following the parade.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to come out early to enjoy holiday shopping and a bite to eat before the parade, as well as to secure parking and a favorite viewing spot.
