2026 Mount Olive Christmas Parade Grand Marshals named

The Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce organizes the annual Mount Olive Christmas Parade in downtown Mount Olive. This year, the parade will be held on Saturday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m. Each year, the chamber board of directors selects an individual to serve as the grand marshal. The chosen person is someone who went above and beyond and made a difference in the community. Mount Olive Chamber President Julie Beck stated, “This year, the task of choosing one person was next to impossible. We have three companies in our community celebrating milestone anniversaries, and we simply could not choose one person. For the first time ever, we will have three grand marshals. The three companies have been celebrating anniversaries all year long, and it seemed appropriate to recognize leaders from all three at the Mount Olive Christmas Parade.
