Help Keep a Mooresville Tradition Alive!
For more than 80 years, the Mooresville Christmas Parade has been organized entirely by community volunteers. Every float, marching band, performer, and special guest that makes its way down Main Street is supported by an amazing team of people who give their time to help create this cherished holiday tradition.
Whether you're looking to give back to the community, meet new people, earn volunteer service hours, or simply experience the excitement behind the scenes, we'd love to have you join our volunteer team!
No previous parade experience is necessary—we'll provide the information and guidance you need.
