Berlin Parade Turns 37
BERLIN - Berlin's 37th Annual Christmas Parade will be held on Thursday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. The parade officially kicks off a number of Christmas events scheduled for December, and this year's theme is 'I Believe.'
The parade is sponsored by the Berlin Lions Club, in cooperation with the Berlin Volunteer Fire Company, the Town of Berlin and the merchants of the town. All costs of conducting the parade are covered by donations from Berlin area businesses.

All entries must enter the parade line-up at the intersection of Route 113 and Franklin Avenue at the Berlin Intermediate School. Berlin Volunteer Fire Company representatives will be located along Franklin Avenue and will direct entrants to their line-up number. The parade will commence at the Berlin Fire Company on North Main Street and conclude at the corner of South Main Street and Tripoli Street.
Categories for the parade include adult and student sponsored floats, adult and children's marching units, fire companies, commercial units, vehicle clubs, motorcycles, antique cars and equestrian entries. In each category, trophies will be awarded for first, second and third place.
Individuals or organizations wishing to enter the parade should contact Gail West at 410-603-7609 or 410-641-4245.
