HOLIDAYS IN THE VUE MARKS SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE INCORPORATING INTO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION

Bellevue’s Signature Holiday Parade Set for December 5; Seeking 2026 Sponsors

July 17, 2026

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Holidays in the Vue is proud to announce its official incorporation and transition to a registered nonprofit public benefit corporation in the state of Tennessee. Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, this transition marks a major milestone for the organization, paving the way for expanded fundraising, enhanced corporate partnerships, and long-term sustainability.

The organization’s core mission remains steadfast: organizing, managing, and raising funds for civic holiday events in the Bellevue area, most notably the beloved annual Holidays in the Vue Parade, which returns for its third straight year on Saturday, December 5, 2026. By establishing formal nonprofit status, Holidays in the Vue can now directly accept tax-deductible donations to fund critical operations—including event production, marketing, vendor management, permitting, and safety/security logistics.

The organization is guided by a Board of Directors and executive officer team, consisting of local community advocates and volunteers.  

"This transition to a formal 501(c)(3) organization represents an incredible opportunity to scale our efforts and secure the future of Bellevue's favorite holiday traditions," said Christy Mullen, president of Holidays in the Vue. "We are incredibly grateful to the Bellevue community for their continued trust and support as we embark on this exciting new chapter. We especially appreciate the Bellevue Harpeth Chamber of Commerce’s guidance, serving as an administrative partner in the parade’s infancy since 2024."

Planning is underway for the 2026 parade and organizers are seeking sponsors. Sponsorship levels range from $250 to $2,000 and offer businesses and organizations exposure in an event expected to draw more than 6,000 spectators. 

Allegiance Pressure Washing returns for its third straight year in 2026 as the parade’s presenting sponsor.
