So Down is delighted to present the 9th Street Christmas Parade and Party—an evening filled with holiday cheer, community spirit, and festive fun for all ages. This cherished event takes place right in the heart of downtown, bringing neighbors, families, and friends together to celebrate the joy of the season. Join us as the streets light up with Christmas magic, colorful floats, and classic holiday music that fills the air with excitement.
Your Perfect Parade-Watching Spot at 9th & Main
Looking for the ideal place to enjoy the Christmas parade? You’ll find it at the corner of 9th and Main, where So Down invites you to gather on our lawn space for the best views in town. Whether you bring a cozy blanket, your favorite lawn chairs, or just your holiday spirit, you’ll have a comfortable and festive place to enjoy the show. It’s the perfect outdoor setup for families, couples, and friends wanting to soak up the sights and sounds of the season.
Indoor Comfort Available—Weather Permitting
While we love celebrating outdoors, we also understand that December weather can be unpredictable. That’s why So Down is opening indoor space at the Moss-DeGraff Building when weather allows, giving parade-goers a warm and welcoming environment. Step inside for a break from the chill, enjoy community conversation, and stay connected to all the excitement happening just outside the windows.
Bring the Whole Family for a Festive Evening
This event is all about togetherness. Bring the kids, bring Grandma, bring your friends—everyone is welcome! From the glow of holiday lights to the smiles of parade participants, it’s a night designed to create lasting memories. Grab your blankets, pack the lawn chairs, and dress warm as you enjoy a magical Christmas moment in downtown Joplin.
