Billerica Christmas Parade

06/18/2026

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Chuck Graham on Monday.

Chuck held a special place in the hearts of so many throughout Billerica and within the Billerica Christmas Parade family. In 2023, he had the honor of serving as our very first Grand Marshal, a role that reflected his longstanding commitment to our community. To generations of residents, however, he was best known as "Billerica Santa," spreading joy, kindness, and holiday magic for more than 40 years.

Chuck's warmth, generosity, and unwavering holiday spirit brought smiles to countless children and families. His legacy will live on through the memories he created and the traditions he helped inspire.

Thank you, Chuck, for everything you did for our community. We will strive to honor your spirit and continue the joy and goodwill you shared with so many through the Billerica Christmas Parade.

Rest in peace, Chuck “Santa” Graham. You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. ❤️🎅🎄

Don’t worry!! The Billerica Christmas Parade team will provide ground transportation for Santa to get to this event!!! We hope to see you there!!! :)

These Disney stars are ready for the Holiday Bash this evening! Are you!?

Reminder that the event is tonight from 5-7:30 at PHR Park. Even if you did not register, or are on the waitlist, we still invite you to come! A couple of our attractions are only for those registered, but the majority of attractions are for everyone including train rides through our decorated path, snow bowling, ice skating, giant slide, and of course photos with santa!

Hope to see you all tonight!

WHAT A DAY BILLERICA!!!!

Thank you to everyone who came to participate and watch in the parade! Your smiles, waves (and cupcakes, thank you Giroux Fam!!!) fill our hearts with so much Christmas spirit.

We have to share our sincerest thanks to Billerica Fire and Billerica Police! They, along with everyone in the parade, donate their entire day to the parade!

A huge shout out to DJ Dave Riley - his music is quite literally the heartbeat of the parade. (And, he is quite legit the best guy!).

To our parade participants, you showed up big!!! This town is lucky to have you. As a thank you, neighbors, please follow their pages, share their posts, and do what you can to support local.

To the current and former board members, this is hard work. Thank you for allowing the residents of Billerica to fill your cups with smiles to show their gratitude. Your work does not go unnoticed.

We wish you all a very merry Christmas! Until next year!

Note: Small change due to weather!!!
The Billerica Recreation Holiday Bash will be moving to Wednesday. Dont’t worry, the parade will still be happening! We will now offer the PHR as an additional Prime Viewing Spot and slowly snake through the parking lot.

Additionally, a few members of the BCP team will still deliver Santa on Wednesday with the Santa House float!

If you haven’t registered for the Holiday Bash, please visit the Billerica Rec website to do so! :)

🚨*Important Update*🚨

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the weekend forecast, and while it looks like the snow might skip us, the threat of high wind gusts is a different story. Since many of our fun attractions can’t operate safely in strong winds, we’ve made the difficult decision to reschedule the Holiday Bash.

✨ New Date: Wednesday, 12/17
⏰ Time: 5:00–7:30 PM

We know schedule changes can be disappointing, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We hope you’ll still join us at PHR for a festive evening filled with family fun and holiday cheer!

🎅 P.S. Santa has officially approved the new date — he even cleared a special spot on his calendar! He’ll be there and ready for free family photos.

Ho ho hope to see you there! 🎄

🎄✨ We are overjoyed to share the brand-new parade route for the 2025 Billerica Christmas Parade! After listening to our wonderful community and working hand-in-hand with our amazing town partners, we’ve created a route that’s a bit shorter — but every bit as magical — complete with fantastic spots for families to gather and soak in the holiday cheer! 🎅🚒💫

You can explore the full route and our interactive map on our website! (Link in the comments!)

And this year, the excitement grows even brighter! We’re absolutely delighted to be partnering with the Billerica Recreation Department to officially deliver Santa right to their Holiday Bash at the PHR Complex! 🎅🎉
This new collaboration will help create an extra-sparkling celebration for the children and families of Billerica. If you'd like to join the Rec’s free Holiday Bash, be sure to register in advance — visit their website for all the festive details!

(Disclaimer: Trust us, we want to hit every single street in Billerica, but we are a team of volunteers and Billerica is pretty big! Festive and joyful comments only, please!)

Let the holiday magic begin! ✨🎁💚❤️
