Ho Ho Ho Holiday Roll Tractor Parade

Saturday, December 5, 2026 | 5PM | City Park, Vergennes

✨ Hot Chocolate • S’mores • Cookies • Santa • Music ✨

S.D. Ireland Holiday Mixer Truck | Lighted Tractor Parade

An exciting new holiday tradition has rolled into the Little City!

A festive lineup of tractors, riding mowers, and side-by-sides decked out in holiday lights — with costumed drivers behind the wheels — will once again bring extra sparkle and cheer to downtown this year. For our inaugural parade last year, we had 25 tractors and over 1,200 people line the route! We expect this year be even more spectacular with more tractors and a longer parade route!

Festivities in City Park:

Vergennes Partnership volunteers and Northlands Job Corps students will be serving up hot chocolate and cookies.
Berkshire Hathaway Home Service Vermont Realty Group will be offering s’mores with marshmallow roasting over toasty fire pits.
The much-anticipated S.D. Ireland Holiday Mixer Truck will make its appearance at City Park by 5PM.
Once the S.D. Ireland truck arrives, the 2nd Annual Holiday Roll Tractor Parade will commence — starting from the Champlain Valley Christian School (see button above for the Parade Route Map).
Be sure to look for Santa and Mrs. Claus headlining the parade and then circling back to City Park to hand out candy!
Help make our 2nd Annual Holiday Roll Tractor Parade a success!
Join the fun by entering your favorite tractor, riding mower, or side-by-side — register online above OR in person at the National Bank of Middlebury (29 Green St, Vergennes; drive-through option is available).

PRIZES will be awarded to parade entries for Best Lighting Design in both Adult (18+) & Junior categories!

OR, bundle up and head downtown to explore the shops, have some treats, and enjoy the show!

We envision this event becoming one of Vergennes’ most eagerly-awaited traditions — a magical evening where hundreds gather to celebrate our rural roots, local creativity, and the community spirit that makes Vergennes so special.
