It’s that time of year again... the annual kick off of the holiday season in Richmond with the 26th Anniversary Ukrops-Supervalu Christmas Parade! This year, the funs kicks off Saturday, December 5th at 10AM on Broad Street in Downtown Richmond. This free, family friendly parade starts at the Science Museum of Virginia and ends at 7th Street.

Harlem Globetrotters will be Grand Marshalls for the parade.

Y101 will host a party zone on Harrison Street, in front of the Siegel Center. Make sure to stop by and see us for your chance to win Y101 loot and to sign cards for our troops here and overseas this holiday season! Plus, to show our appreciation to all the military and their families, we're giving a military family of four the chance to win a ride on our Support Our Troops float in this year's Parade! Register Here!


New this year is the Ukrop's Supervalu Christmas Parade partnership with the Central Virginia Foodbank! Help feed Richmond's Christmas Spirit by contributing non-perishable, non-breakable food at 8 collection sites along the Parade Route or at our Party Zone collection bins! Volunteers will also be collecting food and monetary dotations along the parade routes!
