Santa Claus spent the weekend spreading Christmas cheer as the guest of honor in area parades. Over the past several days, the Big Man in Red has been spotted from Gainesville to Lavonia, Toccoa, Clayton and Cleveland.
It rained on Toccoa’s parade Saturday morning. The weather thinned out the crowd but didn’t dampen the spirits of those who turned out to celebrate. And the celebrating continued Saturday afternoon in Clayton, where hundreds lined Main Street to enjoy Rabun County’s annual Christmas Parade.
Cleveland capped off the festive weekend with its popular Christmas in the Mountains lighted parade. There were 65 entries this year. The White County Chamber of Commerce streamed the parade live on Facebook.
On Tuesday night, December 6th, Santa will make his way to Baldwin for Habersham County’s annual Christmas parade. The parade will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. on Willingham Avenue near Mitchell Gailey Park.
On December 11th at 4 p.m., Hart County will host its annual parade in downtown Hartwell.
