MATAMORAS, PA & PORT JERVIS, NY -- The 53rd annual Rick Drew Holiday Parade, presented by the Tri State Chamber of Commerce, was held on the evening of December 7, 2025.

The parade stepped off at 4:30 p.m. from the Matamoras Firehouse, Matamoras, PA and processed from there through Matamoras, across the Mid-Delaware Bridge and the Delaware River, under the Erie Railroad tunnel, along Ball Street in Port Jervis to the downtown Promenade.

There holiday music was playing, the streets were lit up with holiday decorations, fire pits were burning to keep everyone warm, and hot chocolate and refreshments were served from a Salvation Army canteen. The always lively Broome Street Band, which also performed along the parade route, played holiday songs in the promenade.

The parade was followed by musical entertainment and refreshments and kept everyone in the spirit for the culmination of the evening's festive lineup, the official Christmas tree lighting and visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
