From The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce:

The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce we will be hosting the Starlight Parade on November 27, 2020.


This year we will have the Starlight Parade, but it will look a little different than it has in the past. We will be having a reverse parade. Floats will be parked on 3rd street and the public will drive past to view the decorated floats, perhaps while enjoying hot cocoa and treats and the warmth of your vehicle.


The theme for this year’s parade is “Oh, Christmas Tree” and we will begin the entire evening with Santa and a virtual tree lighting. We will be partnering with The Dalles Beautification Committee to encourage our entire community to decorate trees, windows, and storefronts in the theme “Oh, Christmas Tree”.


The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce has worked with North Central Public Health District and The City of The Dalles to ensure that our event meets all state mandates and guidelines. The goal of The Dalles Area Chamber is to provide a safe holiday and a memorable experience for our community.


Please be patient with us as we work out the details for this event. Parade applications will be available both at the Chamber office and on our website by next Tuesday, October 27th. Start planning your float today so we can work together to make this the best Starlight Parade ever. If you have any questions, please call 541.296.2231 or marketing@thedalleschamber.com
