If doing something for 25 years suggest you're doing something right, then mark your calendars now for the grand daddy of all holiday parades in Southeastern CT.
The 25th Annual Niantic Light Parade & Winterfest 2013 will take place on Sunday, December 8th and promises to be the biggest and best ever. Two great events, one awesome holiday tradition. The day starts with the 2013 Winterfest (which will take place from 12:00 - 5:00). This prelude to the parade will feature the popular Chowder & Chili Cook-off, Pictures with Santa, Magic Shows, a Scavenger Hunt, Face Painting, Horse Drawn Carriage Rides, Ice Sculptures and much, much more!
Then, beginning at 5:00 pm, come see the beautifully built and lighted parade floats, dance groups and Santa himself as they parade down beautiful Main St. in Niantic.
Fireworks will kick-off the Light Parade Fireworks at 5:00 pm. So come early, shop for holiday gifts in the unique gift shops throughout town or dine at one of the many East Lyme restaurants. It's a day your entire family and friends will enjoy - guaranteed!
