The Christmas holiday season is already here! Santa Claus arrives in Racine County this weekend along with art, music and other activities. Here are a few ideas from Real Racine.
Love a parade. Head to Downtown Racine for the annual Holiday Parade at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10. The parade route runs from Main and State streets to Sixth Street and ends at City Hall. You'll see bands, floats, dancers, live reindeer and even Santa Claus himself. You can even bring your letters for hand delivery to Santa. Book donations will accepted for Cops 'n Kids and the Salvation Army bell ringers will kick off their annual campaign. After the parade, stick around for lighting the 45-foot tall Community Christmas Tree at Monument Square. Visit www.racinedowntown.com
