2026 Christmas Parade
The Town of Micro is excited to announce that preparation is underway for the 2026 Christmas parade, a cherished community event that brings families, friends and neighbors together to celebrate the holiday season. This year's Christmas Parade will be held on Saturday - December 5, 2026 with a start time of 4:00 p.m. Directly following the parade, we will hold a Christmas Tree Lighting at the Micro Community Center. During this time we will have holiday music playing, a hot chocolate bar and treats and Santa will be available for photos.
The Micro Fire Department will also have a fire truck on site so children can take photos as well.
We are thrilled to announce that "Buddy" Jones has been named the 2026 Grand Marshall.
"Earl Edward “Buddy” Jones has committed over half a century of unbroken service to the Micro Volunteer Fire Department and the community he protects. Buddy joined the Micro Fire Department on October 17, 1971 and throughout more than five decades, he has served as a vital part of the department. His contribution spans thousands of routine and emergency shifts, late-night alarms, apparatus maintenance, and community outreach events. Beyond active response, his enduring legacy lies in mentoring generations of incoming recruits, passing down invaluable institutional knowledge, and fostering a culture of camaraderie.
To serve continuously for 55 years means adapting to massive changes in technology, tactics, and fire service standards, all while maintaining an unshakeable work ethic. Buddy has consistently prioritized the safety and stability of his community ahead of his own personal comfort, demonstrating a level of civic devotion that few will ever achieve.
In addition to his many years of dedicated service responding to calls and protecting the community, he has guided the Fire Department through more than fifty years of financial challenges. He was elected treasurer in 1985, joined Micro Rescue Squad in 1988 and became treasurer for Micro Rescue in 1992.
His strong financial leadership has enabled the Micro Fire Department to grow steadily over the years, ensuring the acquisition of essential safety equipment while maintaining long‑term financial stability. Through careful planning and responsible stewardship of resources, he has helped position the department to meet the community’s needs both now and in the future.
Mr. Jones’s commitment to civic service extends far beyond the Micro Fire Department. He has served on the Micro Board of Commissioners and held the position of Mayor. In addition, he spent 23 years working at the Micro Post Office, including 18.5 years as Postmaster. He also earned an associate degree in Police Science and served for one year as a Police Officer for the Town of Micro. During his “down time” Buddy enjoys cooking and spending time with his family."

ABOUT TOWN OF MICRO
A new town that began to emerge along the north-south railroad in the late 1890's was so tiny that it would aquire a name derived from a Greek word meaning "Small". As years went by, Micro has remained the smallest incorporated town in Johnston County with fewer than 600 residents.
Micro has developed a community spirit that would enable its citizens to say the quality of a community is not determined
by the number of it's inhabitants.
We invite you to pull off of I-95 at exit 102 and stop by the Waffee Station or shop for cake decorating supplies at NC Paper Company
...and enjoy this small and charming town!
