Merry & Bright: Livonia’s Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting

Sunday, December 8, 2024

"Merry & Bright," Livonia's festive Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting event, is set for Sunday, Dec. 8, at 4 p.m. The parade will showcase an array of floats, high school bands, honor guards, entertainers, cheer teams, and scout troops, along with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The procession will start at Frost Middle School and cover approximately a mile—from Stark to Lyndon, then Farmington Road, and finally Civic Center Drive—culminating in front of Livonia City Hall. Mayor Maureen Miller Brosnan, accompanied by Santa and Mrs. Claus, will light up the holiday display by pressing a ceremonial button on the City Hall steps.

The Livonia Community Chorus is scheduled to perform.

Expect the parade to span roughly an hour. Parking is available across various city locations, including Ford Field, Stymelski Park, and the Senior Center. Subsequently, the Robert and Janet Bennett Civic Center Library will offer hot cocoa and cookies, various entertainments, crafts, and an opportunity for children to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Livonia celebrated Halloween with our homegrown Symphony Orchestra

And is now getting ready to kick off the Season with their Holiday Concert

Saturday, December 7th

Two weeks ago, our Livonia Symphony Orchestra hosted the community at its kickoff for the 51st season of musical excellence. Not only did they provide the excellent music that Livonia has come to expect, but they also encouraged patrons, and Board members pictured here to dress for the season. They did, arriving in costumes for fun along with music.

Now we shift from Halloween, skip over Thanksgiving, and get ready for the Livonia Symphony Orchestra's Holiday Concert, on December 7th, at 4:00 pm.

The Holiday Season just keeps getting better and better with

The typewriter is not available for phone calls or emails Saturday and Sunday. Mental health and rehabilitation time. Out and about enjoying life.

What motivates FridayMusings:

We can't only define Livonia as taking small steps toward maintaining the way things were. That will give us mediocre outcomes. Our goal needs to be innovative and transformative.
