After a seven-year absence, the beloved LoveOly Jinglebell Parade is returning to Downtown Olympia on Sunday, November 29, 2026, as part of Downtown for the Holidays, a month-long celebration of the holiday season.
For years, the Jinglebell Parade helped usher in the holidays in Olympia, bringing neighbors, families, and friends together for an afternoon of music, lights, creativity, and hometown magic. The Olympia Downtown Alliance is proud to bring the tradition back with a renewed focus on creating a joyful, vibrant, and inclusive celebration that reflects the creativity and heart of the Olympia community.
The 2026 parade invites local businesses, schools, nonprofits, community organizations, families, performers, and civic groups to join in.
