Our Mission Statement

It is the mission of the volunteer Bend Christmas Parade Committee to organize and present to the people of Bend and the surrounding area an annual event that will capture the spirit of Christmas, connect and unify our community and bring a feeling of fun and excitement to participants and viewers alike.

People of varied and diverse belief systems are cordially invited and welcome to participate in the Bend Christmas Parade, so long as entrants:

• participate in the warm, friendly and positive spirit of the Christmas season,
• are non-divisive, and
• contribute to goodwill, unity and the building up of our wonderful community.

To maintain the quality of the parade, all entries must be highly decorated in the spirit of the Christmas season and should adhere to the parade theme. Read the rules governing the parade in the entry form carefully and fill out your registration completely before submission. 

​Most of all...Let's Have Fun!
