It feels like forever since a large crowd gathered to celebrate our annual tradition, the 42nd Annual Cary Jaycees Christmas Parade in Downtown Cary. However, yesterday was a sight for sore eyes! Throngs of attendees lined the streets. Many folks dressed lightly, the weather overcast, but incredibly warm.

We arrived a bit late, missing some of the early parade entrants, but managed to catch a fair amount of the event, including the big man himself.

We hope you’ll share this link with folks who were in the parade, or just there to watch. As a newer, and smaller publication, the Pāpur is emerging as Cary, NC’s only source of independent journalism, aiming to connect people with local art, business, entertainment, and culture…but our reach is too small. We need more people to hear about us!

So, in addition to sharing this story, we would be tremendously grateful if you were to subscribe to our mailing list! The more we grow, the more consistently we’re able to bring unique, and quality content, like the kind you used to walk out and grab every morning from the driveway.

Be well, and thanks for stopping by!

We hope you enjoy this photo recap of the 2021 Cary Jaycees Christmas Parade.
