The Annual MainStreet Holiday Lighted Parade starts December 1st at 6:00 pm in downtown Owatonna, with over 85 lighted parade entries traveling south on Cedar Avenue, starting at Rose Street and ending on the west side of Central Park.

As soon as the parade wraps up, the  Lighting of the Lights ceremony will take place in Central Park, with the Owatonna High School carolers will perform some of our favorite holiday songs.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be mingling in the park, where you can grab some free hot cider and cookies.

All that, and a fresh coat of white snow. Let the season begin!
