Christmas Parade marches back to town

The annual Lighted Christmas Parade will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5. The parade begins at Bridge Ave. and River St. and goes through historic downtown Saratoga. Attendees may take advantage of local shops to buy gifts while they wait for the parade to begin. The parade ends at the Platte Valley Community Center (PVCC) just in time to welcome Santa.

"It's small, but it's festive," Crimmins said. The parade will have around 10 floats, and Crimmins added that though the parade is short, the festive themes add a lot. "Depending on the weather, it can be just gorgeous."
