The City of Noblesville along with Noblesville Main Street, the Chamber of Commerce, and Hamilton County, are finalizing plans for the upcoming holiday activities and would like to invite the public to attend. The season will kick off on Friday, November 25 at 7pm with the annual Lighting Ceremony, sponsored by the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce. This event, held at the Hamilton County Judicial Center, is always a hit with families and includes special holiday music, a reading of The Night Before Christmas by Mayor John Ditslear, and of course, the lighting of the beautiful downtown lights.
The holiday festivities will then continue on Sunday, November 27 at 2pm with the annual Christmas parade. This year the city is honoring Sam Watson as the grand marshal. As always, the holiday parade will mark the debut of Santa Claus to Noblesville for the season! Boys and girls are invited to stop by Santa's house on the courthouse square after the parade or during the hours listed below and tell him what they would like for Christmas. There is no charge to visit with Santa and parents are welcome to bring their own camera.
The fun then continues on Friday, December 2 from 5:30pm - 8pm at the First Friday event, sponsored by Noblesville Main Street and the City of Noblesville. The downtown shops and restaurants will be featuring special sales, Santa Claus will be in his house, and other fun events will be taking place. This will be the last first Friday event until May, so don't miss out!
