Downtown Meridian will glow with the Christmas spirit on the evening of Friday, December 1, 2017 as the City of Meridian hosts the 5th Annual Winter Lights Parade & Christmas Tree Lighting presented by Borton-Lakey Law and Policy.
Look for Buddy the Elf and his friend, Jovie, on Center Stage - sponsored by Idaho Independent Bank. They will be here to help Santa ignite the imaginations and joy in the hearts of young and old alike.
The Winter Lights Parade will light up the night in a fantastic display your family will love. Warming stations with hot cocoa can be found throughout the parade route. Watch for the Grand Marshal in the horse-drawn carriage. Hint: You can get a free ride in the carriage after the parade.
