Celebration of Lights
December 4th - Tree Lighting, Parade, Fireworks
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Celebration of Lights. Join us downtown and enjoy a festive parade that includes 2 spectacular tree lighting ceremonies at 235 Main Street and Donagan Park. The parade travels through downtown, culminating in grand fashion with a waterfront fireworks show.
From the Bardavon website:
"Each December since 1994, the
Bardavon's Celebration of Lights has brought a procession of revelers
and thousands of tiny white lights to Poughkeepsie's downtown streets
to brighten the darkest time of year. Many crews from the City of
Poughkeepsie with the assistance of Bardavon staff spend numerous hours
lighting up trees, light poles, windows in buildings, and two huge
Christmas trees along the parade route, within a fourteen block radius
of the theater's corner of Market Street in the heart of the business
district. The culminating parade features many marching bands (bagpipe,
fife and drum, drum and bugle, brass, etc.), the giant puppets from Arm
of the Sea Theatre, the Brazilian band IABAS and their one hundred city
elementary school students from their in-school residency program,
Thunder Road Cruisers classic 50's and 60's cars, community groups,
scouts, floats, fire engines, local dignitaries and an occasional
surprise, and of course Santa. The procession makes its way, beginning
on Main Street and Academy Street , down Main, stopping at Main and
Market for the City of Poughkeepsie's tree lighting with the Mayor and
Santa, to Donagan Park , in Pougkeepsie's downtown restaurant district,
for a second tree lighting and the largest firework display of the
year. Afterwards, families can treat themselves to a special holiday
movie at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House."
