A Cherished Tradition in Our Downtown

Holiday cheer was in full swing on Saturday, December 6th, as families and friends filled Main and Depot Streets to celebrate one of Mocksville’s favorite annual traditions—the Hometown Christmas Parade!

Crowds cheered as creative floats rolled by, talented performers marched proudly, and Santa Claus greeted smiling children along the route. The energy downtown was joyful, festive, and full of hometown spirit.

Jeannette Pitts, Mocksville’s director of marketing & community development, shared her appreciation with everyone who helped bring the celebration to life.
