Tecumseh's annual Christmas Parade just keeps getting bigger and better every year. Groups, organizations, and families enter floats in the parade and compete for prizes awarded by the Tecumseh Area Chamber of Commerce. Last year, over 60 entries kept the judges busy and delighted the crowds on Chicago Boulevard. This fun filled spectacular event will delight everyone and fill your heart with holiday spirit. You'll want to bring the entire family for this one, because every year, Santa Claus is our guest of honor. That's right kids; Santa Claus arrives with the Christmas Parade!
