USA Today called West Chester’s Christmas celebration “one of the top ten places to experience the arrival of Santa Claus during the holiday season.”  The parade comes alive with hundreds of dancers, performers, and musicians making the event a true extravaganza. Dozens of other activities surround the parade, so come downtown early and enjoy all the Christmas spirit. The Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce’s 39th Annual Christmas Parade is presented by QVC and will be televised on Christmas Day.  In addition to the parade, the 10th annual ACAC Jingle Elf Run and Walk (2 mile run/1 mile walk) kicks off at 6:30 pm.
