Event Sponsors
This year's 2025 Christmas parade will follow the traditional downtown format on Saturday, December 6, 2025. The parade will begin at 6:00 p.m. Christmas lights are required on all displays. All applications must be returned by November 28, 2025. This year's theme is 'Christmas Kicks on Route 66!'
A festive mash-up of vintage road-trip nostalgia and holiday spirit, perfect for Claremore’s historic downtown parade route.
🚗 Visual Style & Float Ideas:
Retro Cars Decorated for Christmas
Think The Grinch in a '57 Chevy or reindeer riding in classic convertibles.
"Kicks" Motif
Lean into the “Get Your Kicks on Route 66” song—add dancing elves and boogie-woogie tunes.
Route 66 Icons with Holiday Twists
Motels decked with lights, vintage gas stations with wreaths on the pumps, or neon signs spelling “Merry Christmas.”
Reindeer Road Trip
Floats themed like stops along Route 66—from Tulsa to Flagstaff—with the reindeer making deliveries from town to town.
🎶 Music & Performance Ideas:
Marching bands playing rockabilly versions of carols
Dancers in poodle skirts and ugly Christmas sweaters
A flash mob to “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” meets “Route 66”
*Remember: No Santas are allowed other than the official Chamber Santa!
