Exeter Holiday Parade
Saturday, December 6, 2025; 5:30pm
This year’s theme is A Whimsical Winter Stroll. This annual event has been the highlight of the holiday season for decades in Exeter. The parade begins on Portsmouth Avenue at OSRAM, makes a right on High St., continues onto Water Street, ending at Swasey Parkway. Be sure to get there early to find a prime spot to watch all the action and welcome Santa Claus to Exeter!

New Sensory Viewing Area. The parade will have a “quiet” zone this year from the start of the parade to New England Pizza/Bank Prov. In this zone we’ve asked fire trucks and large vehicles to refrain from blowing their horns and sirens. Parade is rain or shine. Learn more here!
