Harrison Christmas Parade: Mayor's Choice and People’s Choice Award

What an incredible night in Harrison! The 2025 Christmas Parade once again filled our streets with lights, holiday spirit, and true hometown pride. Thank you to the residents, organizations, and businesses who created such festive floats, and to the community who bundled up, came out, and lined the streets to cheer them on.

Each year, Mayor Grubbs has the fun, but tough, job of choosing his favorite float. This year’s Mayor’s Choice Award went to Conex Talk for their fantastic and festive float.

We also want to extend heartfelt thanks to the Harrison Recreation Commission and Director Kim Sovern for their outstanding work, not only on this parade, but for creating meaningful events all year long that bring our community together. Their dedication help make Harrison a place we’re all proud to call home.

Cast your vote for your favorite float!

Now it’s your turn to help choose the People’s Choice Award winner! Your participation helps celebrate the creativity, hard work, and community spirit that made this year’s parade so special. Thank you for sharing in the holiday fun and supporting everyone who helped bring the magic to Harrison.
