Christmas in Elkton and Parade is held annually on the second Saturday in December in Elkton, Kentucky. The day starts off with local businesses having open house, Christmas sales and free refreshments throughout the day.
The Elkton Christmas Parade will start at 5 PM, leaving Todd Central High School parking lot at 806 South Main Street, then going North on Hwy 181 to Public Square, exit square on West Main Street. Once the parade gets to the Milliken Community House on West Main Street, parade participants can go in any direction to return to the high school or home. This is in an effort to alleviate heavy traffic at the high school when the parade is complete.
Immediately following the parade, visit and take pictures with Santa at the Historic 1835 Courthouse Welcome Center and get a free goodie bag sponsored by BR Knuckles Insurance and take-home refreshments.
If you are interested in participating in the parade, visit the Christmas Parade Page to download or complete an online application. Or, call the Welcome Center at 270-265-7070 or email welcomecenter@elktonky.com for more information.
