Local happenings in Yuba and Sutter counties

This coming weekend has a few community events to ring in the holidays. We start on Thursday evening at 6:00 pm with the Christmas Tree lighting in downtown Marysville. They have a beautiful live tree and we are treated to holiday songs sung by the local Master Chorale. We are also served complimentary hot chocolate from The Brick restaurant, located on D Street in Marysville. The next evening is the Christmas Stroll in downtown Yuba City, located just across the bridge, and it will be on Plumas Street. There will be local vendors with crafts, food, and information. One year you could even buy roasted chestnuts. This event runs from 5-9 pm. Bundle up though, it is still our version of a cold, winter's night. Saturday night we go back to Marysville for the annual Christmas Parade down D Street, where Santa will make an early appearance. The parade kicks off at 5 pm and boasts over 75 entries.

This weekend will be a busy one, but it is sure to put you in the holiday mood. Don't miss out on the fun!
