What You Need to Know About The 2019 Great Lisbon FARMERS FEED THE HUNGRY Christmas Parade.

Presented by the Howard County Farm Bureau and led by Festively Decorated Tractors, followed by up to 250 Seasonally-Adorned Horses, the parade benefits Howard County Food Bank, Carroll County Food Sunday, Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry and the Lisbon Volunteer Fire Company.

We invite YOU to enjoy the Lisbon Christmas Parade - The Great Lisbon FARMERS FEED THE HUNGRY Christmas Parade, Saturday, December 14, 2019 . 12 noon  in Lisbon (Woodbine), Maryland!

What started as way to put the historic town of Lisbon (a town tucked in the far corner of Howard County, Maryland's rural west) back on the map is now an annual holiday tradition and one of the most attended small town Christmas parades in the state. It is also when the local equine and agricultural communities gather to take part in one of Maryland's biggest fundraisers to feed the hungry.

---

Since 2011, the Parade has raised over $82,000 and gathered many thousands of pounds of nonperishable foods to feed the local hungry.  In 2018 alone, the parade raised just over $17,000 and more than 3,400 pounds of canned goods were donated.  

GETTING INVOLVED: There are several ways to participate in the parade; from entering horses and tractors into the parade to funding the parade as a Sponsor. As a spectator, you can also contribute to the Canned Food Drive that accompanies the parade by donating canned non-perishable foods within the bins placed along the parade route.

THINGS TO NOTE FOR THE 2019 PARADE: The parade begins at 12:00 noon. Arrive early to secure parking and the best spot along the parade route. Route 144 and nearby roads along the parade route will be closed at 11:30 am.

AFTER THE PARADE: All are invited to attend the Lisbon Volunteer Fire Company’s Chicken & Ham Dinner fundraiser. Do your holiday shopping and take a “Reindeer Ride” at Days End Farm Horse Rescue Santa’s Village!
