A note from the BRI Parade Committee

Parade Route
It's FREE to join us and have an entry in the Bedford Christmas Parade!  The Bedford Christmas Parade is one of Southern Indiana's LARGEST Illuminated Christmas Parades.  Help us stay at the top of the list by creating your own parade entry.  Businesses, organizations, churches, groups and individuals are all welcome to participate.  Since this is a night time parade and a Christmas Parade, we would like the focus of the parade entries to be on lighting their parade units.  The parade theme is "Christmas" in general.  ALL PARADE ENTRIES are required to have Christmas Lights incorporated in their design.   Battery operated lights, light up necklaces, power inverters or portable generators are most commonly used.   We look forward to seeing your parade entries and THANK YOU for your participation to help our community kick off the holiday season.
