Beverly Holiday Parade November 30

Thanks to all who registered for the 2025 Beverly Holiday Parade!

This will be our largest parade ever with nearly 80 organizations sure to dazzle children of all ages.

SAFETY! Please remind everyone in your group that wrapped candy may be HANDED out along the route – Do not throw it on the street. This encourages children to dash into harm’s way to retrieve it
