The Daviess County Christmas Parade Committee has announced plans for this year’s holiday celebration. The 41st Annual Christmas Parade will step off at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, starting in downtown Washington. The 2025 theme is “An American Christmas,” chosen in connection with the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary. Entries are encouraged to decorate floats with lights and music. Prizes will be awarded for Best Overall ($200 and a trophy), Best Business/Commercial ($150 and a trophy), Best Non-Profit ($100 and a trophy), and Best Lighted Window Display ($100 and a trophy). Following the parade, Santa Claus will greet children at the Commons at Main and 3rd Streets, where Little Warrior Wishes will also hand out storybooks.
