Littleton Christmas Parade

03/04/2026

As of today, our Redemption Campaign has brought in $239! We have ALL restaurants in Littleton (except for 2) who are saving bottles and cans for us. We also have the Elks Club and the VFW doing the same.

As you may or may not know, we (along with the other parades in town) now have to pay for police details the day of our event. We have discontinued the fireworks, but now have to add in the cost of police. So our fund raising still has to produce a lot of funds.

IF anyone wants to give us their bottles or soda cans, please contact me. Remember, they have to have VT written with the other redeamable states on the bottle or can.

Thanks!!

Our 2026 Redemption Campaign for the Littleton Christmas Parade has started as of the second week in January. To make it successful, we need the following from whoever can help:

1/ 32-40 gallon trash barrels. If you have one you are not using, we could surely use it! We are talking the heavy plastic ones like rubbermaid, etc...

2/ SAVE SAVE SAVE for us . .
a/ liquor bottles
b/ soda or beer cans (aluminum)
c/ beer bottles
All of these containers MUST have VT printed on them as redeamable. Otherwise they are no good to us.

3/ NO wine bottles
NO Iced tea cans
NO bottles for juice, energy drinks, etc...

If you want to bring your barrels or bottles/cans/containers to my home, contact me to set up a time when I can meet you. I have barrels in my van where I separate everything before going to Vermont (Redemption Center).

As of tonight, we have the following businesses working for us:
The Little Grill
The Taste the Thai
The 99
Applebees
Alburritos
PLUS the Littleton Elks and Howard Shawney VFW Post

This is awesome and it keeps with the 2026 parade theme "Holiday Teamwork; People Working Together". It is so fitting!

I am overwhelmed at the amount of support for the Littleton Christmas Parade this year! Donations and sponsorships have been pouring in for this event. I just can't believe it.

We have surpassed our $16,000 goal!

Now the bad news. Due to the fire ban in the northeast (thanks to drought conditions), we may not be able to have fireworks this year. HOWEVER, I am going to try to invest more money into the parade this year with possible more marching bands, etc...

I won't let the Littleton people down! This year should be a banner year. It is only October and I have had inquiries from 3-4 new parade entries already!

Thank you Littleton and the surrounding area for your strong support!!

Such awesome news to share!!

1/ We have already sold 4 tables of 10 at the Christmas Ball on Saturday, November 22nd from 7-10 pm at the Littleton Elks Club.

2/ With donations still coming in and our LAST yard sale this coming Saturday, we have surpassed our financial goal of $16,000!! Next year we will be responsible for police detail, so it is great to have that added cushion.

3/ We are planning a Christmas Show (tentatively) at the Loading Dock on Sunday, November 23rd. It will feature yours truly doing a 45 minute set and (fingers crossed) the Van Burans doing a second set after intermission. The show will be planned for 7 pm.

4/ The goal this year is to have an event every day/night of parade week, making it into a larger festive celebration than ever!!
