Oxford kicks-off holiday season Saturday with Festival of Lights
OXFORD – Oxford will kick-off the holiday season with the Holiday Festival of Lights and visit from Santa Claus this Saturday, December 2.
Join Oxford Mayor Terry Stark, who will be dusting off his top hat to officiate the holiday spectacular and welcome in the holiday season.
The Oxford Holiday Committee (OHC), a nonprofit organization, has creatively designed a layout to decorate the park with as bright and dazzling a display as possible.
Following a couple carols, Stark will announce the Oxford Academy Primary School award recipients of the fifteenth annual “Recycled Holiday Ornament Contest," a contested sponsored by the OHC as a way of exposing children to the fun of decorating and benefits of recycling, while being included in the ceremony.
Attention will be drawn to the ceremonious lighting with a countdown before some young assistants from Oxford Primary School pull a large switch to illuminate the village.
Spirited carols will fill the air by some of the talented members of Oxford Academy’s High School chorus, under the direction of the very talented Michael Moren. Everyone is encouraged to join in song.
Adding to the magic this evening, the “jolly old elf himself,” Santa Claus, has been contacted at the North Pole, and he’s promised to visit Oxford for the ceremony. He will be waiting on a special bench, amidst twinkling lights, ready to listen to wishes from hopeful young ones. (Parents, bring your cameras!)
DJ Jim Baldwin of the Oxford Lions Club will be back with his gingerbread house sound system, making speeches and music clear and bright.
Don’t miss the official start of the holiday season with Oxford's annual “Holiday Festival of Lights" on Sunday, December 2, at 5:00 p.m. Just as the glow of the lights radiate, so does the spirit of the season.
