Lewisburg’s Handmade Parade

The Handmade Parade is an annual legendary spectacle of imagination featuring upcycled handmade puppets, instruments and most importantly, enthusiastic community revelers, to celebrate and usher in the epic Polar Bear Plunge. The Handmade Parade is FREE to attend and participate in! Lewisburg’s Handmade Parade (formally the Polar Bear Plunge Parade) will take place on Saturday, February 8th, 2025, 2:00 -2:30 pm.

Four Handmade Parade Puppet Workshops will be held throughout January to create small and large puppets using upcycled and used materials. In doing so, we breathe new life into what we already have, using creativity (and glue and paint) to create a puppet world of imagination. This year’s workshop puppets are inspired by the Susquehanna River and will feature a Giant Egret, crayfish, dragonflies, fish and trees. We will also have a drum brigade.
