Warren Holiday Festival

Warren's Holiday Festival opens its Friday program with Santa arriving at the foot of Baker Street on a decorated firetruck and leading families to the Firemen's Museum. Hot chocolate and cookies wait on Water Street, ornament crafts fill First Methodist Church, and the Federal Blues hold an open house in colonial attire at the carriage house. Washington Lodge No. 3 offers a tour of what the festival calls the second oldest continuously running Masonic hall in the Western Hemisphere. Fire spinners, Marvelous Marvin's magic, Dickens carolers, and Mt. Hope High School's vocal ensemble and marching band lead into the Main Street lighting at Town Hall.

Our take: Meet Santa's firetruck at the foot of Baker Street, then head to Town Hall on Main Street for the countdown and lighting.
