The Culpeper Christmas Parade will be held on December 6, 2020 at 5:00pm on Ira Hoffman Lane.  Sheriff’s Office staff have worked to accommodate recommendations from the VDH and are pleased to offer a safe location for both the parade participants and spectators.  This new location allows ample parking for spectators to view from inside their vehicles.
