Christiansburg Christmas Parade Details

Beginning at 10am tomorrow (Friday December 9th) anyone who has some free time can stop by the Lancaster House and help prep over 2,000 candy canes that we will hand out as another way to interact with and reach out to our community during the parade.

If you would like to join us in the parade we will be rallying at the Hardee’s (103 Roanoke St. Christiansburg, VA 24073-3019) at 5:30 pm.  Blacksburg residents can meet at the Lancaster House at 5:00pm to carpool over together.  If you would like to wear one of our red Northstar hoodies, please bring $10.

Following the parade, which starts at 7:00pm,  we will head to the home of Buddy & Janet Benford for hot chocolate/cider & cookies in order to thaw out.

If you are interested in helping in any of these areas or have other questions regarding involvement in the parade, please email Katie Surratt or Dave Farris (513.560.2565).

Dress warm!!

Blacksburg Christmas parade

On Friday night, December 2, we celebrated the joy of Christmas with our community in the Blacksburg Christmas parade. Our float featured members of the Northstar praise band, kids and candy canes! It was exciting to meet so many of our neighbors!

Thanks to those who made the float possible with all the work and donations of materials! We will also be in the Christiansburg Christmas parade on Friday, December 9.
