Holidays in the Vue Parade

HOLIDAYS IN THE VUE PARADE SET FOR BELLEVUE COMMUNITY ON DECEMBER 5
Santa & Mrs Claus Among 60 Parade Units to Jingle their Way Down Highway 70 South

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The third annual Holidays in the Vue Parade, presented by Allegiance Pressure Washing, is a free, family-oriented parade that portrays the goodwill associated with the holiday season, while building a strong sense of community. The event scheduled for Saturday, December 5, 2026, at 10 a.m. celebrates the December holidays and observances, including Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

Santa & Mrs Claus will be among more than 60 parade units to jingle their way down Highway 70 South in Bellevue, along with the Titans Blue Crew and cheerleaders, Nashville Predators Energy Team, Al Menah Shrine Clowns and Motor Corps, local school bands and many festive floats. The parade kicks off at Bellevue Middle School. The 1.2 mile route stretches from the school, down Highway 70 South and onto Sawyer Brown Road, concluding at One Bellevue Place. Organizers expect the event to draw nearly 8,000 spectators.

Special parade features in 2026 include 3,000 bells handed out to spectators along the route by TriStar Bellevue ER. This year, the parade introduces the Festive Fan Award, a new way to spotlight the community’s holiday spirit. Parade spectators who go all out in their jolliest, most festive holiday looks will be in the running to be chosen along the route, with winners taking home a Holidays in the Vue prize pack. It’s a fun new addition to the parade tradition, encouraging neighbors to dress up, show out, and celebrate together.

“We are thrilled to bring back the Holidays in the Vue Parade for another year of festive community celebration,” said Kristi Gooden, a member of the Holidays in the Vue Steering Committee and one of four moms who founded the event. “Every year, the entertainment value of the parade gets bigger and better and we can’t wait to deliver a high-energy, memorable spectator experience worth standing in the December chill for.”

Founded in 2024 by a group of four female community volunteers, the parade is organized by Holidays in the Vue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
