 Bemidji now isn't the only community lighting up the holidays. The City of Park Rapids will also usher in the Christmas season with a tree lighting ceremony. The festivities will include the lighting of a giant Christmas tree on Main Street as well as trees on every corner, fresh evergreen wreaths, carriage lights and window displays which will all be set for the holidays. A Christmas Carol sing-along, live nativity, fire pits and of course Santa and Mrs. Claus will also make an appearance. The celebration will begin at five in downtown Park Rapids. Holiday kickoff celebrations will also be held in Walker, Long Prairie and Little Falls.
