Tips & Advice

  • Book VIP reserved box seating or parking well in advance, as these options have limited availability and are likely to sell out quickly.
  • Arrive early for the 1:00 PM daylight parade or the 7:00 PM candlelight parade to secure good viewing spots if you haven't purchased reserved seating.
  • Check the official Lebanon Chamber of Commerce website for the most up-to-date information on parade routes, any potential changes, and additional festival details.
  • Consider the 7:00 PM candlelight parade for a more magical and atmospheric experience, especially if you enjoy illuminated displays.
  • Dress warmly, as December in Ohio can be quite cold, especially for the evening candlelight parade.
