Showing Our Holiday Spirit - The 2025 Lisbon Christmas Parade is still on! Check it out!

The Lisbon Christmas Parade Is Almost Here!
Saturday, December 13 • 12 PM • Route 144, Lisbon, MD

While live horses won’t participate this year due to the multi-state EHV-1 outbreak, the parade is
absolutely still happening — and it’s shaping up to be as festive and magical as ever.

Picture this: tractors decked out in holiday lights, hobby-horse riders bringing big smiles, floats and
pickup beds decked out in holiday cheer, and barns showing off their holiday spirit with creative equine-themed displays. The whole community — barns, riders, families, and horse-lovers — has a chance to make this parade sparkle in a whole new way.
​
So gather your herd, polish up those decorations, and help show that Maryland’s equine and farming
community’s holiday spirit shines whether we’re on hooves or wheels.

And for all the horse lovers… don’t worry you can still get your horse fix!
Don’t miss Santa’s Village at Days End Farm Horse Rescue (DEFHR), featuring:

• A Christmas Market with 50+ vendors
• Visits with DEFHR’s rescued horses
• “Reindeer Rides” (pony rides!)
•  Photos with Santa
  
  

✨ Holiday cheer for the whole family!!!
Bring your holiday shopping list — and if you’re able, non-perishable food donations to support local
families in need this season.
