Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear has announced that this year’s traditional Christmas parade will be held on Dec. 1, the Sunday following Thanksgiving. The 41st Annual Christmas Parade will begin at 2 p.m.

The parade starts at 16th and Harrison streets and will travel south on 16th Street to Logan Street, west on Logan to Ninth Street, north on Ninth to Monument Street, and east on Monument to 16th Street where it will end. The last entry in the parade will be Santa Claus himself, making his debut for the season.
