History of the parade

The first Santa Claus Parade held in West Lincoln occurred in 1990 and has been a highly anticipated event since. Over the years, the amount of floats and parade attendees grew exponentially, and route variations were taken in stride to accept the growth of this small town parade.

Dave Willis, the long-time Committee Chair, passed away suddenly in late 2019, but the remaining Committee members persevered to put on a beautiful Parade in his honor that year.

In 2020, a brand new group of Parade Committee volunteers stepped forward to take a hold of the reins and keep the parade on the same esteemed course it has been on for the past several decades. One of the Committee’s first major decisions was to rename the parade the “West Lincoln Santa Claus Parade.”

Planning and execution of the West Lincoln Santa Claus Parade event formally transferred to Township Staff beginning in 2024.
