The City of White Settlement invites the community to recover some Christmas cheer after weather conditions dampen traditional parade plans. According to a social media post by the City of White Settlement, the annual Christmas parade may be a wash. Still, festivities will continue tomorrow at the Recreation Center between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
Despite the parade cancellation, the City's announcement ensures residents that a vibrant event lies ahead, with food trucks ready to serve up holiday treats, local holiday vendors to browse for gifts, and a visit from Santa Claus with his elves are promises of a Friday night filled with festivities and the Christmas spirit. In an unconventional twist that fully embraces the digital era, Mayor Young will also be sharing the tree lighting ceremony with the community via a live stream from Veterans Park, all this before settling down for the screening of 'The Polar Express,' a film that's become something of a modern classic.
The Christmas gathering aims to provide residents with a sense of community and celebration, essential elements during the holiday season. The event is open to families looking to indulge in the joy of the season and experience the magic that this time of year is known to bring, even when it throws a curveball with the weather.
