Plymouth Gears up for the Christmas Season on Saturday

The City of Plymouth lighted holiday parade and Christmas tree lighting event is set for Saturday at 6 p.m.

Santa will lead the parade down Michigan Street in a Plymouth fire truck and get in place for the Christmas tree lighting and the unveiling of the park department’s light show at River Park Square.

Prior to this event, shop small business Saturday! Shop the downtown merchants where you will have a chance to win a $250 voucher to be used to purchase items at the downtown businesses. Win the voucher by checking off all of the items on your scavenger hunt list. Items pertaining to the Rees Theater can be found at participating stores. Find those items and check them off on your list. The scavenger hunt ends at 4 p.m.

After that, make a free ornament for your Christmas tree at home at the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce at 4:30 p.m. Another opportunity to make ornaments is available at the Heartland Artists Galley for an hour beginning at 6 p.m.

The Marshall County Museum is decorated for the season and will have model trains running from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Enjoy hot chocolate and cookies prior to the parade at 5 p.m. on Garro Street between the museum and the Marshall County Visitor’s Bureau. Look for Christmas selfie spots throughout the downtown area.
