It&rsquo;s time to start planning the 65th Garden City Downtown Development Authority Santaland Parade coming up on Saturday, November 28 at 10am. We were thrilled with last year&rsquo;s parade in front of thousands on the streets of Garden City and thousands more watching the telecast around the world on social media. The Santaland Parade is the longest running event in Garden City and shows no signs of slowing down. The parade is completely self-funded and put on by volunteers so financial input from the community is essential. There are many fixed costs every year from barricades to costumes, bands to porta potties, entries to insurance and more. These items run into the tens of thousands of dollars. We spend what we take in and don&rsquo;t spend any more than we bring in, which is becoming more of a challenge as the cost of everything increases. We are hoping you will consider being a sponsor or continuing as a sponsor. As always, we want to make sure that you get something for your money. For years now we have offered a well-received plan that allows for different sponsorship levels that in return give you visibility in the parade and the community. With the explosion of social media, people from all over the world will know that you supported this great holiday tradition. In the past five years the parade has been viewed by tens of thousands on social media. Don&rsquo;t forget the Garden City Community Coalition is a 501c3 charity and that your donation is a tax deduction. Checks should be made out to the &ldquo;Garden City Community Coalition,&rdquo; with a notation that it is for the Santaland Parade.&nbsp;Checks should be sent to this address:&nbsp;The Santaland Parade Committee&nbsp;P.O. Box 1082 Garden City, MI 48136&nbsp; In order to be included on a banner or mentioned in any promotions, donations must be obtained by November 4, 2026.

A volunteer representative from the Santaland Parade Committee will be following up with you shortly regarding your sponsorship. They will confirm your sponsorship information and collect any additional details, logos, advertisements, or other materials that may be needed based on your sponsorship level. We truly appreciate your partnership and your commitment to the Garden City community. We look forward to celebrating with you at the 2026 Santaland Parade on Saturday, November 28! Thank you again for helping us make this year&#39;s parade possible. We are excited to have you as part of &ldquo;An 80s Christmas!&rdquo; Sincerely, Garden City Santaland Parade Committee
