The Merry & Bright Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting, If you are interested in having your community group walk in the parade, contact Billy Keppen at [email protected].

We expect more than 50 local groups to participate as the public views floats, collects candy and waves to some special guests from the North Pole. The parade travels from Frost Middle School to City Hall, where Santa will help light the civic campus before visiting with families at the Bennett Civic Center Library. Enjoy snacks, crafts and visits with both Santa and Buddy the Elf at the library 5-7 p.m.
