Holiday Magic Parade In Downtown Royal Oak.


Mark your calendars! Downtown Royal Oak's annual Holiday Magic Parade is this Saturday November 21st 10:00 am. Bundle up warm, get your hot cocoa from Pronto, grab a spot on Washington Avenue and help welcome Santa to town! My daughter loves parades - any holiday - there's something "small town" about them and this one is no exception. The best part is, if you get a little chilly you can pop into any of the great little shops, warm up & get some holiday gift ideas - HullaBaloo will be open early for pre-parade shopping! After the parade take a stroll over to Stagecrafters to visit with Santa from 11-1:00.

If getting the kids bundled up & out of the house by 10 am on a Saturday seems too exhausting, snuggle on the couch with you cocoa to watch the parade on t.v. which will be televised on Channel 55 (Comcast) and Channel 11 (WOW).

Right before the parade is this year's Santa Scamper. A half-mile fun walk/jog/run along Royal Oak's Holiday Magic Parade route prior to the parade at 9:15 a.m. The Santa Scamper is open to all interested; registration is $10 in advance, $12 day of. To register for the race visit santascamper.org - all proceeds benefit the Toys for Tots Foundation.

Downtown Royal Oak is offering free metered parking until 2:00 on the day of the parade - yeah!
