Event Details

The 54th annual Enumclaw Christmas Parade will commence on December 7, 2019, at 6:00 PM.

When it comes to building a dynamic holiday float the bar is set high. They take their Christmas Parade seriously in Enumclaw. Last year a trucking company went up to Crystal Mountain Resort and packed their trucks with snow to build a wintry float. This is a one-of-a-kind small town parade you won’t want to miss.

AREA LODGING

If you’re planning ahead, book a room at the GuestHouse Inn it’s within walking distance of the parade lines. The Rodeway Inn is a short five-minute drive from the parade festivities. See Santa, lighted displays, bands and more.

Make a weekend of it. Come early. Check into your hotel and then visit the locally owned and operated shops. Book a relaxing treatment at the Enumclaw Day Spa. Then head to Cole Street at 5:00 PM. Go early so you can get a good table at one of the restaurants along Cole Street to watch the parade go by during dinner. Restaurants like: Kelly’s Mercantile, Jackson’s Pizza, The Historic Mint, and The Rainier Bar and Grill are the place to be to watch the parade while enjoying a delicious meal. The Local is a coffee shop with light snacks and comfy sofas that is also a popular choice. If you choose to watch the parade outside under the lights be sure to dress for the weather so you’re comfortable along the sidelines.
