LOCK HAVEN -- Downtown Lock Haven, Inc. will be kicking off the holiday season this Sunday at 6 p.m. in Triangle Park with its Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony.
And Lock Haven Public Works crews were seen Wednesday morning placing the central part of the event in its spot next to Roads to Peace along West Main Street.
The event will feature performances by Millbrook Playhouse's Youth Ensemble, hot chocolate, cookies and more.
Scott Dodson has returned again this year and decorated Triangle Park with twinkling lights and decorations in preparation for the event. He'll be the honoree, lighting the tree -- provided by a donation via the City of Lock Haven.
Everyone is invited to come out and kick off the holiday season -- just days before Thanksgiving and DLH's annual Haven Holidays.
This year's theme is Haven Historic Holidays and will kick off Small Business Saturdays on Saturday, Nov. 25.
Businesses will be offering deals and giveaways beginning at 10 a.m. and throughout the day.
Participating businesses will also take part in DLH's Window Decorating contest, sticking with this year's Triple H theme - representing memories and traditions both old and new.
Everyone will get to vote for the best decorated window and be entered to win a Downtown Lock Haven gift card.
A day full of shopping is leading to the Haven Historical Holiday Parade, which will make its way down Main Street at 6 p.m.
Floats will be decorated to represent historical memories and traditions from the past of the organization's choice. Everyone will be able to vote for the best parade float.
Following the parade, Sarah's Alley between Stella A's and Rachel K's Creations will be the place to be, as Santa Claus and his reindeer will set up shop at 7 p.m.
Santa and his friends will be available for photos and to visit with kids until 9 p.m.
If you aren't able to make it to see Santa, don't worry, he'll be setting up shop multiple days in December at The Station Gallery, 2 E. Bald Eagle St. -- where the Clinton County Arts Council will also be hosting its annual Holiday Sale.
St. Nick will be at the gallery the following dates, with times to be announced:
