Get ready for some Christmas fun! Join the Hoofbeats & Christmas Carols Parade in downtown Aiken and spread holiday cheer. Nancy and Leo Benjamin from Bluffwood Farm Vacation Rental are excited about this festive event.
On December 16th, downtown Aiken will turn into a winter wonderland for the Hoofbeats & Christmas Carols Parade, organized by The Aiken Equine Rescue and SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare. Starting at the intersection of Barnwell & Greenville streets, the parade takes you on a 2.5-mile journey through Aiken.
Imagine horses, riders, dogs, and Santa’s elves parading down Lauren Street in festive attire, singing Christmas carols. The parade, now in its 13th year, has grown into a huge celebration with almost 300 horses, carriages, and nearly 100 dogs, showing the community’s excitement.
If you want to be part of the fun and need a great place to stay, check out Bluffwood Farm Leo Vacation Rental. It’s located just 20 minutes outside of Aiken, offering a private 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment on a 100-acre horse farm in Wagener.
The parade route is mapped from Barnwell & Greenville streets, passing significant spots like Trinity on Laurens Senior Living residence. For those who want to participate, registration and horse staging start at noon at the Barnwell & Greenville Street intersection.
Whether you’re in the parade or watching from the sidelines, this event will be the talk of the town. The community spirit, lively atmosphere, and the incredible sight of horses, dogs, and people celebrating together make it a must-see for all ages.
As winter arrives, let the magic of the Hoofbeats & Christmas Carols Parade warm your heart. Join Nancy and Leo Benjamin, and the entire Aiken community, in creating memories. Put on your festive attire, embrace the holiday spirit, and make this winter in Aiken one for the books!
