Ready, Set, Christmas!
Local tree lightings and Santa visits
Nov. 23, 2024
You know the drill, folks: This weekend is all about the holiday lights, evergreen trees, Santa visits, and shopping sprees! (We’re feeling very Seussian for that rhyme!) Here is just a short selection of spots full of holiday spirit: Nov. 29 at 9am, Bed Parade in Glen Arbor, followed by the tree lighting and holiday market opening 6:30-8pm. Nov. 29 at 5pm, First Light Celebration and arrival of Santa at Crystal Mountain; grown-ups enjoy the Holiday Trails progressive to follow. Nov. 29 at 5:30pm, check out Cadillac Christmas in the Park, complete with a drone show and photos with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. And shop small with the Better Than Black Friday PJ Party sales in Glen Arbor (7-9am, Nov. 29); the downtown Gaylord Christmas Stroll (Nov. 30); and Black Friday and Small Business Saturday in downtown Traverse City.
