Scenes from the 2022 West Chester Christmas Parade.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that 6abc meteorologist Adam Joseph will return as emcee of the West Chester Christmas Parade, joined for the first time by WMMR radio host Kathy Romano of The Preston & Steve Show<\/em>. The beloved hometown parade will be held Friday, December 1, 2023, kicking off more than a month full of holiday festivities in historic downtown West Chester during Chester County Hospital Lights Up Holiday Weekends in West Chester<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Voted \u201cBest Local Parade\u201d and \u201cBest Family-Friendly Event\u201d by readers of Main Line Today<\/em>, the parade title sponsored by Chester County Hospital delights more than 20,000 fans of all ages. Parade night kicks off December 1st at 6:30 p.m. with the official lighting of West Chester\u2019s stunning 25-foot-tall Christmas tree on the lawn of the Historic Chester County Courthouse. The spectacle continues at 7 p.m. with the parade that will include the ever-popular marching bands, exciting newcomers and the most-anticipated appearance of the year: Santa!<\/p>\n

Joseph said, \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a hometown parade that inspires you with the true holiday spirit, this is it. The West Chester Christmas Parade\u00a0has been a part of my\u00a0family\u2019s holiday season\u00a0for more than a decade. We\u00a0were not only ecstatic, but\u00a0felt the\u00a0outpouring of affection from the West Chester community last year when the parade returned for the first time since the pandemic. This year promises to be even more heartwarming \u2013 and exciting! \u2013 with even more marching bands, by popular demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a West Chester University graduate, so West Chester will always be in my heart,\u201d said Romano. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to team up with Adam to welcome everyone to the West Chester Christmas Parade for this evening full of family fun that draws so many to West Chester\u2019s incredibly vibrant shops and restaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have some really exciting performers this year who applied to be a part of this special evening, in addition to almost 50 sponsors who are investing in the high quality of our performances,\u201d said Christy Cosgrove, Chair of the Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Board of Directors, who notes that a few more sponsorships are still available to local businesses seeking exposure during more than five weeks of holiday festivities, November 24 to January 1, during Chester County Hospital Lights Up Holiday Weekends in West Chester.
