Participants
Each year the participants in the Mayor’s Christmas Parade make the magic happen.
The Mayor’s Christmas Parade is a cherished Baltimore tradition, bringing holiday cheer to the Hampden and Medfield neighborhoods for over 50 years. Now in its 53rd year, this festive three-hour parade features more than 100 participant groups, including marching bands, dance troupes, musical performers, cheer teams, classic cars, community organizations, holiday balloons, and much more.
Each year, the celebration concludes with a special appearance from Santa Claus, who rides through the parade on his sleigh to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
We welcome all groups that bring joy, spirit, and creativity to the holiday season!
