Mauldin announces 2026 Christmas parade details: ‘Home for the Holidays’ set for Dec. 5

Holiday festivities are officially on the calendar as the Greater Mauldin Chamber of Commerce and the City of Mauldin unveil preliminary plans for the 2026 Mauldin Christmas Parade.

Presented by local corporate partner Sauer Brands, the long-standing annual holiday tradition will officially step off at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 5, 2026. This year’s parade centers around the theme “Home for the Holidays,” inviting neighborhood groups, civic clubs, schools, churches, and local businesses to bring festive floats, marching bands, and holiday cheer to the streets of the Golden Strip.

The parade procession will begin staging and launch from the Golden Strip Career Center before making its way down Holland Road, ultimately concluding at BridgeWay Station. With thousands of community members expected along the corridor, organizers note that the prime viewing area for spectators will span Holland Road between Mauldin Elementary School and BridgeWay Station, offering prime vantage points and sidewalk space for families to catch the action.

Community members and organizations interested in participating, entering a float, or tracking upcoming route and road closure announcements are encouraged to follow the official channels for real-time updates. You can find more information through the Greater Mauldin Chamber of Commerce at mauldinchamber.org and on Facebook at @MauldinChamber. Additional municipal notices and community programming updates will be posted via the City of Mauldin at cityofmauldin.org and across their social media pages at @CityofMauldinSC.

Further details regarding parade entry applications, volunteer opportunities, and event-day traffic advisories are expected to be released as December draws closer.
