Oxford to Hold ‘Reverse Christmas’ Parade; Butner to Host ‘Christmas in the Park’ Event
THIS STORY IS PRESENTED IN PART BY DRAKE DENTISTRY
With the COVID pandemic forcing many areas to cancel or revise holiday events this year, the City of Oxford and Town of Butner announce plans to bring Christmas cheer to residents while following safety guidelines.
Oxford’s Reverse Christmas Parade – Friday, December 4 ~ 6:30 – 8 p.m.
A parade where the floats, dancers and cars are stationary and spaced apart. Those wishing to soak up the seasonal merriment can simply drive-through and enjoy from the safety of their personal vehicles.
This year’s theme is “Oxford’s Whoville Holiday” for churches, businesses and non-profits wishing to participate (please decorate accordingly).
Spaces will be measured at 60-80 feet allowing for social distancing. No candy will be given out, only waves of cheer and
encouragement!
If you would like to be a part of the ‘Reverse Parade,’ please contact Mary Yount at (919) 603-1164. Applications will be accepted through December 1.
* Oxford’s Lighting of the Greens for 2020 will be virtual (more information to come).
Butner Christmas in the Park – Drive-Thru – Friday, December 4 ~ 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Load up the kiddies with their letters to Santa and participate in a guided drive-thru at Butner’s Gazebo Park for a celebration of Christmas music, beautiful lights and to visit Santa safely from your car.
Event sponsored by the Butner Community Association.
