Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Gilliam family on the passing of James Gilliam. James served the Raleigh Christmas Parade for many years & served the City of Raleigh as a RPD officer.

Thank you James and your family for all you did for this community.

Our parade community and two families in this community lost two amazing young souls in November: Hailey Brooks and Samantha Briggs. While we remain heartbroken, we want to take a moment to honor both young lives and their love of dance. For 2023, may we all dance like no one is watching, always live life to its fullest and in every storm, just dance.
