New Cumberland Christmas Parade

The city of New Cumberland will hold its annual Christmas Parade at 5 p.m. Saturday. Entrants will line up in Fuccy's lot on Second Avenue before they proceed along Ridge Avenue, down Station Hill, and end up downtown at the fire hall. This year's grand marshals are Bill and Barb Ross. The theme for this year's parade is "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and will be a tribute to all those serving in the military. After the parade, the public is invited to stroll along River Avenue to see the decorated trees and enjoy free cookies and hot chocolate. The Oak Glen Band and the Oak Glen Chorus will be sharing some holiday music at the overlook on River Avenue, and children can visit with Santa Claus inside the old city building. There will also be a free winter hat and glove giveaway. Everyone is invited to join in the festivities.
