‘Tis the Season’

Despite cold temperatures, holiday spirit filled the streets of Henryetta last Saturday as crowds turned out for the 2025 Henryetta Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade. Sponsored by the Henryetta Chamber of Commerce, the annual event once again brought families, organizations local banks and businesses together to celebrate the season.

The Henryetta Knight Brigade performed during the parade, adding music and energy along the route as spectators lined the streets bundled against the winter weather. Many parade-goers also took time to visit the Mistletoe Market, located near the parade route, making the evening a full community celebration of shopping, music and Christmas cheer.

Among the featured participants was Air Evac Lifeteam 135 of Henryetta, which was selected as the parade’s “Magic of Christmas” float. Representatives from Air Evac expressed appreciation for the warm reception, noting that braving the cold alongside fellow community members was well worth it for the smiles, waves and holiday spirit shared throughout the evening. The organization highlighted the privilege of serving Henryetta and surrounding areas year-round and the joy of celebrating the season with the community they serve.

The Henryetta Rotary Club also took part in the festivities, offering hot cocoa to spectators along the route. Rotary members thanked the community for its support and hoped the warm drinks helped keep everyone comfortable as they enjoyed the many creative and festive floats.

From marching music and community service to holiday markets and warm treats, the 2025 Henryetta Christmas Parade once again showcased the strong spirit and togetherness that define the season in Henryetta.
