HAMPTON—
Yes, Virginia, there will be a Christmas Parade in Hampton this year!
Despite a small rumor to the contrary, the 2011 Hampton Christmas Parade is scheduled to march along a two-mile stretch of Lafayette Road on Saturday, December 3 beginning at 1 p.m.
The popular annual event is being organized by Experience Hampton, Inc. and the Hampton Recreation and Parks Department. This year’s parade theme will be “Hampton… One Beautiful Town.”
Local businesses and organizations are invited to enter the parade, and marchers and floats are welcome. Applications for parade entries are available at the recreation office on Winnacunnet Road, or online at experiencehamptonnh.org.
Donations are also being gratefully accepted; those wishing to help fund this year’s parade can make out a check to “Experience Hampton” and drop it off at the 401 Tavern on Lafayette Road.
Volunteers are also needed in a number of ways, from safety to fundraising to float building. For more information, contact Experience Hampton, Inc. at parade@experiencehamptonnh.org.
