Lewisville's 40th Annual Christmas Parade Lights Up the Town

The town of Lewisville, North Carolina, came alive on Sunday, December 14, 2025, as residents and visitors gathered for the 40th Annual Lewisville Civic Club Christmas Parade. The parade commenced at 3 p.m. from the intersection of Shallowford and Lewisville-Vienna Roads, winding its way through the heart of the town and concluding at the Lewisville Shopping Center. Attendees were treated to a vibrant display of festive floats, marching bands from local high schools, classic car clubs, and energetic dance groups.

 

The Lewisville Civic Club Christmas Parade has grown into one of the most beloved annual traditions in western Forsyth County, drawing crowds that line Shallowford Road each December to cheer on their neighbors. What began four decades ago as a modest community gathering has expanded into a full community production, featuring entries from local schools, businesses, civic organizations, and churches that call Lewisville home. The 2025 edition marked the parade's 40th year — a milestone that speaks to the staying power of small-town traditions in a community that has seen significant growth while holding onto its neighborhood character.

 

The highlight for many was the much-anticipated appearance of Santa Claus, who delighted children and adults alike. In the spirit of the season, participants generously distributed wrapped candies to the crowd, bringing smiles to faces young and old.

 

West Forsyth High School and other local school groups brought energy and pageantry to the route, with marching band performances drawing some of the loudest applause from the crowd. Classic car clubs added a nostalgic touch, while dance groups and community floats reflected the diversity of organizations that make up the Lewisville-Clemmons area. The stretch along Shallowford Road near the town center was packed with families who had staked out their spots well before the 2:30 p.m. road closures — a testament to how seriously Lewisville takes its Christmas Parade. To ensure safety and smooth proceedings, roads into town were closed at 2:30 p.m., and attendees were advised to arrive early to secure prime viewing spots.

 

For those interested in participating in future parades, the  Lewisville Civic Club provides detailed information on their website, including entry forms and guidelines.

 

As the parade concluded, the community's enthusiasm was palpable, reflecting the town's commitment to celebrating the holiday season together.

 

For families new to the Lewisville area, the Christmas Parade is one of several annual community events worth putting on the calendar. The town also hosts events at Mary Alice Warren Community Center and Jack Warren Park throughout the year, and the broader Lewisville-Clemmons corridor offers access to Tanglewood Park, local breweries, and a growing restaurant scene along Shallowford Road. Events like the parade are a big part of why families continue to choose Lewisville when relocating to the Winston-Salem area — the community feel here is real, not just a marketing line.
