The Magic of Holiday Movies Parade

was

December 6, 2025

6:00 p.m.

Third Street in Downtown Jamestown

It was an unforgettable night of lights, laughter and holiday magic!  Prior to the parade stepping off, the tree at City Hall was lighted by the family who donated this year's tree. The tree this year was a 40-foot tall Douglas fir.  Crews decorated the tree with more than 3,000 energy-saving LED lights!  

In keeping with tradition, the tree was donated by the Messina family.  This family remembers planting the Douglas fir in 1998 when it was only a foot tall.  The city plans to plant another tree in that spot for the family.

It's exciting.  It's awesome.  Something you can share with the community and our grandkids.  We've lived here for 30 years and it was just something pretty neat.  Something you put in the ground that somebody else appreciates and can enjoy is quite special."

Perry and Sharon Messina

Downtown came alive with the Jamestown High School Red Raiders Band, movie themed floats such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), The Polar Express (2004) and Peanuts: A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) and even a float recalling the recent Hallmark Channel movie .. Touchdown: A Bills Love Story along with Santa Claus direct from the North Pole.

The evening wrapped up with a fireworks display launched from the Spring Street parking ramp near Jamestown City Hall.

🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄
