The Downtown Twice Around Christmas Parade rolls through the streets of Historic Downtown Albany on Sunday, Dec. 3, 2023.  The parade starts promptly at 5 p.m. Rain or Shine.

Entries typically include the Albany Trolley, Horse Drawn Wagon, community groups, schools, businesses and Santa riding on Albany’s Antique Fire Truck!

The parade route starts at the corner of Broadalbin Street and First Avenue, heads West down First past the Albany Carousel, turns South (left) on Calapooia to Second Avenue, turns East (left) on Second to Broadalbin and North (left) on Broadalbin to First… then we go around again ending up back where we started at Broadalbin Street and First Avenue.

We were excited to present the 2021 parade as our traditional, in-person event and will do the same in 2022. Please make sure to spread out and use the entire 8-block route for viewing the parade.

There will be a short break between the parade and tree lighting for attendees to reposition for a physically-distanced Community Tree Lighting Ceremony. Enjoy ample space in the large Two Rivers Market parking lot, corner Ferry and Second.

Event partners include Weyerhaeuser, Ram Trucking, Pacific Power, City of Albany, Albany Fire Department and Burcham Metals.
