The tradition continues! Mrs. Marcelle's School of Dance is once again dancing in the Bend Christmas Parade!

The 2.5-mile parade route starts on the intersection of NW Newport Blvd. and NW Harmon Blvd. It runs East on Newport, turns south on Wall Street, and then meanders along Riverside Blvd. before it crosses the Galveston St. bridge and ends at Harmon. Many thousands of happy people will line the route
