Holly Jolly Hangout (Preferred Parking Spot)

Holly Jolly Hangout Offers Reserved Parking for Exchange Club Christmas Parade!

Make parade night merry and bright at the Bartow History Museum’s Holly Jolly Hangout, a Christmas Parade Watch Party celebrating the Exchange Club Christmas Parade, one of North Georgia’s largest holiday parades!

Visitors can reserve a preferred parking space at the Mulinix Research Center, located at 1 N Gilmer Street. Look for the elf holding a sign to find the designated parking entrance. Parking opens at 4:30 p.m., and the parade begins at 6 p.m.

For $15 per vehicle, guests can secure a reserved parking space at the museum for the duration of the parade, making arrival and departure more convenient while helping avoid heavy traffic and crowds. Museum members receive a discount. Each pass covers one vehicle, regardless of the number of passengers, and the fee applies to the parking space rather than the number of attendees.

Please note that parking passes reserve vehicle parking only. The museum does not reserve or provide standing or seating areas for parade viewing.

Following the parade, visitors can stop by the museum to enjoy complimentary holiday treats and hot chocolate. Gather your family and friends and celebrate one of Bartow County’s favorite holiday traditions!
