Clarkston Rotarians and volunteers decorated downtown Main Street with lights, garlands, and ropes of greens twisted around light poles last week, setting the scene for downtown Clarkston’s annual Holiday Lights Parade, 6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 11.
Hosted by Clarkston High School’s Team RUSH, the parade starts at Clarkston Community Education, 6558 Waldon Road, and marches north to St. Daniel’s Catholic Church, 7010 Valley Park Drive off Holcomb Road.
Independence Township Parks and Recreation hosts Holiday Lights Night in Depot Park after the parade.
Santa will read a story and lead the crowd in a tree lighting ceremony, as well as accept letters. Activities also include caroling, Christmas carols, free coffee, hot cocoa, s’mores, and popcorn, children’s games and crafts, and live reindeer.
Park at St. Daniel’s, downtown Clarkston lots, Depot Park, Community Ed, Clarkston Elementary and Clarkston Junior High parking lots.
All activities are outside, so dress warm.
