Southern Maine Christmas Parade
The 25th Annual Southern Maine Christmas Parade scheduled for Sunday, December 14, 2008 was canceled because of severe ice storms.  Local municipal services were busy trying to provide emergency services for those who lost power or had other damages due to fallen trees and tree limbs.  With much regret, we decided to cancel the parade in the interest of public safety.
This is the 25th year of the parade in Wells, Maine.  Our Grand Marshals are Dan Dickerson of Howe's Highway Floor Store and Gary Leech of Congdon's Donuts. Our theme for this year's parade is "Christmas Day." 

Since last year's theme was "The Night Before Christmas" for our 24th Annual Parade (Christmas Eve is December 24th), we thought that we should continue the tradition on our 25th Annual Parade by theming it simply "Christmas Day."

The parade is hosted by the Wells Chamber Of Commerce with support from the communities of Southern Maine.  The town of Wells, Maine generously donates funds to help with costs for decorations for the parade.  Last year's parade was a great success. Thank you, to everyone who sponsored and participated.  'Tis The Season!
