It may be summer but Christmas magic is already beginning to sparkle in Hull. Known for delivering outstanding arts and cultural experiences, Back to Ours is thrilled to announce the return of the much-loved Christmas Parade and this years’ festivities are set to be more enchanting than ever.
Today, Tuesday 25 June, marks exactly 6 months until Christmas Day and officially starts the countdown to the most wonderful time of the year with Back to Ours’ special Junemas Parade announcement.
Back to Ours believe in spreading joy and community spirit all year round and ‘Junemas’ is an exciting and unique celebration to remind everyone that the magic of Christmas isn’t just for December.
Igniting the festive spirit this Junemas, a Victorian adventure awaits in Hull City Centre on Tuesday 25 June 2024, when Jerry McBaubles will be spreading Junemas cheer for all to hear. As he searches the streets for a treasured ornament – the missing 2024 Christmas bauble, but this is no ordinary bauble. This is the final piece of the festive puzzle that will bring the magic of the parade to life.
Renowned for its vibrant and interactive displays, the streets and neighbourhoods of Hull will come alive with the charm of Back to Ours’ Christmas Parade this December, where families are encouraged to step outside, celebrate, and engage with the festivities that bring the spirit of Christmas right to their doorsteps.
Louise Yates, Artistic Director and CEO of Back to Ours says, “We encourage people to wrap up, come out, and join in the festive magic – from waving from bedroom windows, to standing at the bottom of the garden with a brew and gathering with friends, family and neighbours – it’s all about getting in the Christmas spirit and bringing people together.”
At the heart of Back to Ours is a commitment to community and cultural enrichment. The Christmas Parade is more than just a festive event; it’s a celebration of togetherness, creativity, and the enduring spirit of the season. Each stop on the Parade route will feature interactive activities, performances, and opportunities for families to create lasting memories together.
Louise continues, “The Parade brings so many elements of Back to Ours together – reaching and engaging thousands of people with a beautiful event that connects on a hyperlocal level, involving our fab Act to Ours drama group together alongside professional performers, and working with Hub members to create small, static events that sit alongside the main Parade route.”
Back to Ours is here to ensure that this festive season is the most magical one yet and invites everyone to join them in celebrating Junemas as the magical countdown to Christmas begins.
The Christmas Parade will wind its way through Hull on an enchanting adventure, Monday 2nd – Thursday 5th December 2024. Keep an eye out on Back to Ours’ website and social media channels for more exciting announcements coming soon.
