Enjoy the beginning of the Holiday Season with Minerva’s Downtown Wonderland Celebration! There will be crafts, food, vendors, music, and the man himself, SANTA!
This year’s theme is Gingerbread Village, and the event begins with the Christmas Parade at 3 p.m. Businesses, organizations, and community members are all invited to be part of the parade. Build a float! Decorate your car, truck, tractor, or golf cart! Dress up your dog and join the parade!! This year, the best unit will receive a prize! There is no charge to participate in the parade, and it will line up at Minerva Elementary School, proceed up Bonnieview to Line Street to N Market, crossing Rt. 30 and dispersing. Please contact the Chamber office to sign up for the parade.
Following the parade, Treat Trees – artificial trees covered with small treats for kids to take – will line the sidewalks downtown.
During the event, there will be free photos with Santa in the Roxy Theatre, an ice carving demonstration, cookie decorating, games, crafts, activities, a live Nativity, a free raffle to light the community Christmas tree with Santa, and much more.
