THIS DECADES LONG TRADITION ALWAYS KICKS OFF ON THE SATURDAY FOLLOWING THANKSGIVING​

The festivities will continue as we parade down the main street of Manson following Santa and Mrs. Claus in their sleigh to light the Christmas tree. Radiance Winery and Coffee will have photo opportunities and visits with Santa following the tree lighting.
