We’re preparing for our final event of the year: the Lakewood Holiday Parade of Lights & Christmas Tree Lighting.
Join us Saturday, Dec. 7 in Lakewood Towne Center for this community event. Line the parade route to cheer on local Lakewood businesses, school groups and community organizations. Parade participants will proceed from Alfaretta Street SW at Park Lodge Elementary School onto Gravelly Lake Drive and turn left onto Main Street SW, stopping just past the roundabout at Lakewood City Hall.
Once Santa arrives on the West Pierce Fire & Rescue fire truck, he’ll help Mayor Jason Whalen and the Lakewood City Council countdown to the Christmas tree lighting. The tree is located in the center of the roundabout in front of City Hall, 6000 Main Street SW.
Arrive early to hear carolers from Claudia Thomas Middle School, snap a selfie with Santa starting at 5 p.m. inside Lakewood City Hall, and enjoy this community event. There will be food trucks and entertainment.
