Raleigh’s Holiday Parade
Every December, downtown Raleigh wakes up early for a tradition that feels like the official start of the season—the Raleigh Holiday Parade. Families line the sidewalks with warm drinks in hand, kids lean forward to catch the first glimpse of their favorite floats and marching bands fill the streets with that unmistakable holiday energy. As one of the largest holiday parades in the Southeast, it brings together a cheerful mix of giant balloons, creative performances, community groups and, of course, Santa riding in with a grand finale.

All Aboard the Holiday Magic
For many families, the Holiday Express at Pullen Park has become the moment when the season truly begins. The park transforms into a whimsical winter setting—twinkling displays, the sound of kids laughing, and that unmistakable holiday buzz that fills the air. It’s an event people look forward to year after year, and while tickets are already gone for this season, the spirit of the Holiday Express still sets the tone for December in Raleigh. Even without boarding the beloved train, visitors can explore plenty of other festive experiences throughout the city that capture the same warm, nostalgic feeling.
