KEARNEY — The annual Kearney’s Magical Night Christmas celebration will be Saturday, Dec. 11, throughout downtown.
The event kicks off with a lighted parade at 6 p.m. followed by Santa’s arrival and family-friendly activities at 7 p.m.
The parade will follow the same route as the school district’s Homecoming parade, which can be watched along Jefferson and Washington streets.
“Join us as we recapture the usual Homecoming parade route to see different floats, cars, and people dressed in their holiday best,” states a Facebook event post made by Kearney Enrichment Council, the organization spearheading the event planning.
After Santa’s arrival, he will be on hand to take photos with children at Firehouse Community Center, located in front of Lions Park in the 100 block of South Jefferson Street.
From 7 to 9 p.m., families are welcome to visit participating downtown businesses to complete a family activity or craft.
“Each stop will offer something unique, so make sure you go around and see everyone,” states the event social media post.
The night will also include a downtown fireworks display.
