Join us to kick off the Christmas season with the annual Whitley County Lighted Christmas Parade in downtown Columbia City on Friday, November 29 at 6 p.m.
Santa will officially arrive and meet with visitors until 8 p.m. in his little house on the corner of Chauncey & Van Buren Street.
At the end of the parade, we will gather near Santa’s House and ceremoniously light the big tree on the Whitley County Courthouse lawn.
