Mark your calendars and kick off this holiday season with some joyful fun! This Friday, December 5th at 7:00 PM, head on over to Court Square to experience the annual Holidays on Main Street event. The festive weekend will start with a holiday parade. The festivities will continue on Saturday with carriage rides, the official tree lighting ceremony, hot cocoa and holiday treats for sale, and visits with Santa. A movie — The Grinch Who Stole Christmas — will be playing on an outdoor screen, and music will be playing to enhance the experience.

A new event on the list for this holiday weekend is the Holiday Home Tour, a self-guided home tour of four of downtown’s finest homes. If you are interested in touring, go to the Hardesty-Higgins House between 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM on Sunday, December 7.
