The holiday season celebrations come to life in the city of Gainesville this weekend.
“Christmas on Green Street caps off Main Street Gainesville’s jam-packed, but wildly successful year of entertainment offerings in the heart of Downtown Gainesville,” says Main Street Manager Nicole Parham announcing the plans for this Sunday. “While the Blue Sky and First Friday concert series are extremely popular during the spring and summer months, nothing quite draws a crowd like our holiday-themed events, especially Christmas on Green Street."
Christmas on Green Street is slated for 2-6 p.m. Sunday, December 8, with the 4 p.m. parade culminating in the Lighting of the Rotary Tree at approximately 5:30-5:45 p.m.
From 2-6 p.m., attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy the following activities: food trucks from 1-6 p.m. at the JT Stratford (formerly Pinnacle Bank) building; activities and performances at historic Green Street homes between 2 and 4 p.m.; Green Street parade at 4 p.m. starting at the Gainesville Civic Center; and the Lighting of the Rotary Tree at approximately 5:30 p.m. (immediately after the parade) at Green and West Academy streets.
