The Nugget Newspaper - News and Opinion from Sisters, Oregon

The holiday season is upon us and we all know what that means: holiday events! Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD) continues the Sisters community tradition of hosting the holiday tree lighting and parade on Thanksgiving weekend. Gather up your family and friends and head down to Fir Street Park on Friday, November 25, from 5:30 to 6 p.m. for the Annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony. Don’t go far because the very next day, November 26, the Holiday Parade will go down Hood Avenue from 2 to 3 p.m.

Jennifer Holland, executive director of SPRD states, “We are thrilled to be able to host these holiday events for the community. Part of our role in parks and recreation is to bring people together and what better way to do that than through family-friendly events.”

Hayden Homes has signed on as a title sponsor for these events and will be providing hot chocolate and cookies at the tree lighting and immediately following the parade at McKenzie Meadows Village Park. SPRD is currently accepting parade entry applications.
