The 55th Annual VFW Santa Parade, whose theme this year is “Santa Celebrates Haverhill’s Heroes,” takes place, Sunday, Nov. 24, at 1 p.m.
This year, the committee is seeking antique cars to participate in the parade. Anyone interested should print and fill out an application for their car online at haverhillsantaparade.com. Completed forms and $20 donation per vehicle should be given to the parade official at the antique car starting point on Cumberland Avenue in Bradford upon arriving parade day.
The 55th Annual VFW Santa Parade follows the same route as last year—starting at the Bradford Fire Station, heading north on South Main Street, crossing over the Merrimack River, turning left on Merrimack Street, right on Emerson Street and ending at the Haverhill Boys and Girls Club.
