Christmas is coming to town a little early with the Christmas on the Square celebration at the Downtown Plaza on Saturday.
Last year, the event featured activities that lasted throughout the day, the 2020 version will be much simpler according Khala Young of Juste Moi Yoga and Spa, who is hosting the event along with Dirt Road Photography.
Last year’s event featured a number of special events, including a Bavarian brunch, a biergarten, craft vendors, train rides and a number of other activities for children of all ages. However, rain kept the crowds at a minimum.
“We are going with a more simplistic event this year,” Young said. “We can’t do as much this year with everything going on and it was put together last minute.”
The event will begin with a light parade through the square at 5:30 p.m. The event will go until about 8 p.m. with activities such as the Perryville High School choir will sing Christmas carols on the main stage, and the Perryville and St. Vincent bands will combine to have a brass performance.
Hot Chocolate and cookies will be available while antique tractors will be on display in the city parking lot.
