70th Annual Downtown Elmira Holiday Parade

This year marks the 70th Anniversary of Elmira’s Holiday Parade, a tradition that has brought families, bands, floats, and festive energy downtown for generations.
 

To celebrate this milestone, we’re collecting photos, stories, and memories from past parades to share with the community.
 

Have a favorite moment? A photo from years ago? A story about marching, volunteering, or watching from the sidewalk?
