WHAM 1180’s Bob Lonsberry will MC this year’s Holiday Lights Spectacular Community Parade in Brockport Sunday, December 6. Co-hosting will be Caurie Putnam-Ferguson.
The parade kicks off at 5 p.m. along Main Street in the downtown business district. This year marks the 5th anniversary of the event that has quickly become a favorite holiday tradition in the village.
“It started out as an event to celebrate the re-opening of Main Street,” says organizer Brian Winant of the Brockport Police Stetson Club. “It has continued to grow in attendance every year. We are hoping for another big turnout.”
The parade features sparkling lighted floats, cars, trucks and marching bands and is followed by the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Sagawa Park. Mr. and Mrs. Claus will also make an appearance.
Winant says dress for the weather, bring your family, “and meet friends and neighbors for the kick-off event of the holiday season.” He encourages parade-goers to come early to shop and eat along Main Street.
Winant reminds those attending that there will be no parking on Main Street after 3 p.m. “There’s plenty of parking in the lots behind Main Street and where allowed on side streets,” Winant says.
There is still time for community groups, organizations and businesses to register to take part in the parade, he adds. $500 in prize money will be awarded. The registration deadline is December 2. For more information or to register, email thestetsonclub@gmail.com or call 391-3155.
