The Apex Christmas Parade is somewhat unique in that it is held in the evening.

Parading at night through this charming town—with all its store lights and decorations aglow—is really COOL. Our students love to march in this parade, and we hope that you will consider coming out and enjoying the atmosphere!

The parade route begins on the corner of Apex Peakway and Salem streets, passes through the downtown area, and finishes at W. Moore Street. The entire route is about ½ mile in length. Additional parade information can be found at apexrotary@gmail.com.

Please consider dropping by one of our Dewey’s Bakery Stores to do some holiday

shopping and to support our band program. A huge THANK YOU to those who have given your TIME to make this fund-raiser a success. We could not run our program and serve your children without your support!

Hope to see you along the parade route cheering on our wonderful band!

We are going to be lit!

“Doc”
Dr. Jerry Markoch, Director of Bands
