Greenville Poinsettia Christmas Parade

Greenville Poinsettia Parade 2019

This is a much belated post but I would be remiss not to comment on the incredible Greenville Poinsettia Christmas Parade in downtown Greenville on Main Street.

Thousands showed up for this year’s event. The weather was phenomenal – about 55 degrees and no rain. Last year was not so nice as it rained the entire time. But this year was one of the record books! It was wonderful to hear from so many of the high school marching bands as well as see floats from many businesses, service providers, news media and local politicians…of course Santa brought up the rear.

The crowds were huge and it’s always amazing how friendly and calm the crowds are in downtown Greenville at events like this. The other thing to note about heading to events like this in Greenville is that there always seems to be ample parking. There are many large, public parking ramps scattered throughout downtown. We had no problem finding a ramp within easy walking distance to main street.

Enjoy the photos!
