The festival will be held from 11 to 6 p.m. and will feature vendors, carriage rides and clothes with the Christmas Parade. The children will love it. They'll get to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus. We've got carriage rides. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be in the carriage ride. We'll have the train downtown for the kids to ride. So it's just something that we hope that we'll start to set off Christmas Joy for the kids and for the adults to have a moment to actually spend some quality time with their children. The festival will also feature vendors at the 404 Pavilion, the City Tree Lighting, Food Trucks and a Float Contest. The main reason that we're doing all of this and trying to work together, of course, with the Chamber and with Tourism and Downtown is, you know, our Mayor Bill Micronian has wanted everything to be accessible to everyone. Everyone has gone through so much with COVID and trying to get everything established again. So we wanted to be able to have it like a huge Christmas party. So having things go on the entire month and getting the people back into the holiday spirit, getting the kids back to realizing what Christmas can be, that everyone, of course we all know that the reason for the season is our Lord. But to let the children get the smiles back on their faces. The event is completely free to attend and Mr. and Mrs. Claus will be in attendance.
