The Kearney Enrichment Council is bringing back the Lighted Christmas Parade followed by Kearney’s favorite Christmas event: A Magical Night on Saturday, December 9 in downtown Kearney.

The beloved event begins at 6 pm with the lighted parade through downtown. The floats will be traveling on Washington Street as viewers will watch from the sidewalks. 102.7FM has been asked to Emcee and announce the parade floats as they travel past City Hall.

After the parade, Santa will arrive and family activities will begin at the Old Firehouse Community Center. Santa will be available to talk to kids and take pictures at City Hall.

Also happening after the parade, downtown businesses will be open for kids’ activities and crafts for a “Small Mall.” Each business will have a unique activity for visitors from 7 – 9 pm.

The evening will conclude with a holiday fireworks display at 8 pm.
