If you missed the tree lighting ceremony at Rice Park yesterday, don't despair... St. Paul's Grand Meander next weekend on Saturday, December 7th is a great way to kick off the December holiday season and celebrate community, buy local and support our local fine artists. When you are done there, come downtown and check out the spectacular trees in St. Paul's Rice Park and Holiday Bazaar at Landmark Center across the street.
The daylong celebration along St. Paul's Grand Avenue includes breakfast with Santa, fire truck rides, Santa's reindeer, soup samplings and voting for the People's Choice Winner, musicians meadering the avenue and the annual tree lighting ceremony at 5:00. Also wander the streets of Tangletown and experience open studios of local artists. Click here for Grand Meander event details.
