The air in downtown West Jefferson
recently sparkled with the magic of the annual Holiday Parade, a truly heartwarming event that perfectly captures the spirit and beauty of our charming small town. Under a dramatic, cloudy sky that only added to the festive atmosphere, thousands of smiling faces lined the streets of Jefferson Avenue, ready to welcome the holiday season. The 2025 theme, “Memories of Christmas,” was a delightful success, bringing joy to all ages.
The parade was a vibrant showcase of community spirit. Laughter truly came alive as local dance groups performed energetic routines, followed by a fascinating variety of floats including toy motorized trucks, a festive train, classic old cars, and even a horse-and-buggy. The Husky Vanguard Marching Band filled the air with music, and children eagerly collected the candy being handed out along the route. The presence of local fire and rescue vehicles added to the community atmosphere, reminding us all of the dedicated people who serve this area.
The smiles and joy felt all around were a testament to the quintessential small-town atmosphere West Jefferson offers—a picturesque escape with an authentic Main Street vibe.
