Organized by the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce, this year’s Christmas parade will be held on Saturday, Dec. 6 with a start time of 2 p.m.
The parade will begin at Daniel Axford Elementary on Mechanic St., head north along Washington St. (M-24) and end at East St.
Addison resident Dr. Mark Orchard, superintendent of the Oxford school district from 1988-93, will serve as grand marshal.
This year’s theme is ‘Christmas Around the World.?
Running in conjunction with the parade will be a Holiday Market and Warming Station at the Oxford Veterans Memorial Civic Center (28 N. Washington St.).
Open from 1-5 p.m., this special market will offer shoppers the opportunity to purchase ornaments, craft items, holiday gifts, sweet treats like cookies and brownies, coffee and hot chocolate.
Santa Claus will be there to pose for photos and visit with children.
Visitors are asked to please bring canned goods and other non-perishable food items for Oxford/Orion FISH, a local pantry that feeds low-income families, individuals and senior citizens all year long.
