Green Bay Holiday Parade sponsored by HSHS St. Vincent Children's Hospital
Saturday, November 21st, 2026
10 - 11 a.m.
Downtown District
Green Bay, WI
Experience the magic of the 42nd Annual Green Bay Holiday Parade sponsored by HSHS St. Vincent Children's Hospital!
Celebrate everything that makes Green Bay special during the holiday season.
Theme
This year’s parade theme is A Tropical Holiday in Green Bay! Who says the holidays have to be cold? Even Santa likes to escape the North Pole every once in a while. The Tropical Holiday Parade is a chance for families to experience the holidays a little differently while still enjoying the music, lights, Santa, and community spirit that make the parade a Green Bay tradition.
Grand Marshal
The Parade Grand Marshal is Bex from Up Next with Bex! Bex is a charismatic 11-year old redhead with some pretty impressive sports knowledge, a huge heart & the gift of gab! This Green Bay local started his podcast, Shortz on Sportz, at just 9 years old with the help of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay. He now emcees special functions and fundraisers, and has his own weekly segment on 101 WIXX, Up Next With Bex. Bex has interviewed celebrities and sports figures like Donnie Wahlberg, Natisha “T” Heideman, Donald Driver, Big Sean, John Wall, Mario Lopez and many more.
