The Bartlesville Kiwanis Christmas Parade is set for December 7, 2024, with the theme “Memories from Frank Phillips Blvd.” This year's parade takes a festive journey through treasured memories that connect the city’s past to its vibrant present.

The parade begins at 6:30 p.m., with participants assembling as early as 9 a.m. in the Frank Phillips parking lot at Short Street. Floats must be in place and ready for judging by 2 p.m.

This year’s nostalgic theme draws inspiration from Bartlesville’s historic landmarks and celebrates the city’s heritage with floats and performances. As always, the parade will conclude with the arrival of Santa Claus. 

The event is made possible by longtime sponsors like Truity Credit Union, Cliffs Flooring and Windows, and Brian Little, alongside new supporters, including Stumpf Funeral Home and Crematory and Scott Gillette of Farmers Insurance. Representative Judd Strum continues his commitment to supporting the Dewey Band, and Muscleman’s will once again bring Santa to the parade.
