A Celebration Like No Other: Attend the 2024 Greenwich Holiday Lighted Tractor Parade
Event Date: November 23, 2024
Did you know that one of the most magical events of the holiday season is held in a small village near Saratoga Springs? We’re talking about Greenwich’s Holiday Lighted Tractor Parade, which has become the area’s unofficial kick-off to the holiday season.
Each year, this dazzling parade brings together friends and family in downtown Greenwich for an unforgettable night of lights, food, and holiday cheer. Here's why we continue to attend this festive event, and why you should this year too!
The Tractors Are Coming, The Tractors Are Coming
Get ready for lights, lights, and more lights! The annual Holiday Lighted Tractor Parade is all about illuminating the night with thousands of colorful and twinkling lights.
Tractors both big and small are a part of this parade, and each one must have a minimum of 1,000 lights on it.
When this parade of lights begins, over 70 tractors decorated with holiday lights travel from Capital Tractor into the heart of the village where families wait in anticipation.
There's nothing more exciting than standing on the sidewalk and seeing the line of lighted tractors finally come into view. You'll feel surrounded by the spirit of the holidays as kids scream with delight and adults stand in awe as the parade passes by.
Around 5,000 spectators come to witness this holiday season tradition in Greenwich, and the number continues to grow year after year.
Food? Check! Festival Atmosphere? Check!
While the beautifully lighted tractors are the main attraction, during the 2024 event day, Greenwich will come alive with free afternoon activities as well!
There will also be plenty of opportunities to purchase parade souvenirs and grab a bite to eat at restaurants and vendors. This is a community-supported event, so all kinds of local businesses get involved in the festivities.
It Takes A Village To Run The Tractor Parade
Presented by the Greater Greenwich Chamber of Commerce, the Holiday Lighted Tractor Parade can return every year thanks to the help of local sponsors.
Not only that, but in October 2018, the Chamber won a Tourism Excellence Award for the tractor parade, which reflects how big this community event has become.
Mark Your Calendar For This Year's Parade
The 2024 Holiday Lighted Tractor Parade will take place on Saturday, November 23 at 6:00pm. The new route will travel from Capital Tractor and end at Argyle Brewing. This route is designed to provide better viewing spots for attendees and improve safety.
Remember to arrive early, pick a spot to watch the parade, and enjoy the show!
