Night Lights Christmas Parade & Festivities
Friday, December 3, 2021
The Annual Night Lights Christmas Parade is a spectacular night time parade packed full of lots of lights and music! It starts at the Grand Ledge Fire Department at 500 North Clinton Street and then makes its way straight down Bridge Street.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will make their appearance at the end of the parade, trading in their red sleigh for a red fire truck.
