Let's light up the night with Holiday bright!
Join us downtown Mt. Vernon for the annual Christmas Parade & Activities! Break out those lights and show us who will take the trophy for best lit parade float! After the parade stick around to decorate cookies, make a craft, visit Santa in his cottage, have some hot cocoa and more! This event is free and open to the public.
