Shanghai Parade

What – Shanghai Parade

Where – Downtown Lewisburg, WV

When – January 1st, noon

Bundle up and enjoy one of Lewisburg’s annual parade of unknown origins featuring the wackiest and quirkiest of participants. All who join in the parade walk are given a $2 bill, because, well why not? The spectacle started sometime in the late 1800’s and every year it begins with “Baby New Year” – usually the city fire chief and ends with the grand marshals, whose grand job is cleaning up after the horses.
