Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade to Include New Events
Lawrence prepares five weeks before the Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade on December 6. Organizers plan extra activities at Downtown Lawrence venues with carriage rides in South Park, Santa visits, carolers, a new outdoor skating rink, and family drop-off options. A major anonymous sponsor commits three years of support, easing ongoing fundraising for the parade with many volunteers essential to staging the event downtown during the holiday season.
