2025 Exeter Holiday Parade Registration & Fundraising

The parade starts on Portsmouth Avenue in the vicinity of Exeter Lumber and Foss Motors. The parade heads down Portsmouth Avenue to High Street, taking a right at the intersection. The parade continues on Water Street past the bandstand ending just past the entrance to Swasey Parkway.

The parade is organized by a small group of volunteers and is partially funded by the Town of Exeter. The parade volunteers must raise $5,000 to offset the cost of this event. Every piece of entertainment is paid a performance fee to be in the parade including: marching bands, other bands, clowns, stiltwalkers, unicyclists, some beauty queens and more.

Your support of the parade ensure that this 60+ year tradition will continue.
