The traditional Arcadia Christmas parade will take place Saturday evening starting at 6 p.m. in downtown Arcadia. Floats and marching units will be lining up around W. Oak St. and S. Orange Ave. to kick off the holiday season.
Christmas Card Lane also opens for display on Saturday along Oak St. and Volusia Ave. adjacent to McSwain Park. The theme this year is “The 12 Days of Christmas,” and cards and parade entries will offer varied interpretations of that theme.
