St. Francis, the City of Lights

Visit downtown St. Francis for beautiful lights, great shopping and the chance to sit on Santa’s knee. A drive through the city will reveal some home lighting displays that will knock your socks off!

Highlights: Christmas in St. Francis begins with the annual Light Parade on the Friday after Thanksgiving at 6 p.m. (top right). It features businesses’ and individuals’ floats all decked out in lights and making the trip down Main Street. Then, on the four Friday nights preceding Christmas, stores stay open with special deals, and Santa makes an appearance on Main Street to listen to everyone’s Christmas wishes.

Day after Thanksgiving through Christmas.
