In an abundance of caution and with a heavy heart, the city administration has decided to cancel this year's Annual Lighted Holiday Parade and Christmas Tree Lighting.
This decision was not made lightly.
The safety and well-being of the community, volunteers, and participants are the absolute top priorities. Given the current weather forecast, it is believed this is the most responsible course of action to ensure everyone can celebrate the holiday season safely.
City officials understand the disappointment this news may bring, as this beloved event has been a cherished tradition for so many, marking the joyful start to our holiday festivities.
