Subsequently, at 5:30 pm, join us at the west side of the State Street bridge as the parade commences, gracefully winding its merry way down Main Street to 6th Street, and concluding its procession at the magnificent City Hall by 6:45 pm.
The festivities will continue beyond the parade’s conclusion. At 6:50 pm, gather at Monument Square for more carolers and the enchanting Tree-Lighting Ceremony. The esteemed Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus will perform their magical incantations, illuminating our Holiday Tree with a dazzling display of festive brilliance!
