TOMBALL HOLIDAY PARADE

The Tomball Holiday Parade marks its 60th year with a theme that highlights Christmas traditions from different decades. Floats and marching groups will travel along Main Street with decorations that reflect their chosen era, creating a long stretch of color, music, and movement for spectators. Families often arrive early to find a comfortable spot, and the route offers plenty of room for chairs, strollers, and small groups. The event is free to attend and has a simple rhythm that appeals to all ages. For many locals, it serves as the start of the holiday season and gives the community a chance to gather before the December rush begins.
PARADIGM BREWING CHRISTMAS MARKET

Paradigm Brewing is hosting a Christmas Market that turns the brewery grounds into a relaxed holiday setting for families and weekend shoppers. Santa will be available for short private photo sessions, giving parents an easy way to capture holiday card photos without long lines. The Grinch and Rudolph will visit throughout the day, which adds a playful tone for younger kids. Local vendors will fill the space with seasonal gifts, handmade items, and simple holiday finds. DJ Bobby will keep the atmosphere moving with classic Christmas music while guests enjoy seasonal brews and food from the taproom. It’s a steady, family-friendly event that works well for anyone looking to ease into the holiday season with a mix of photos, shopping, and time outdoors.
