The annual Christmas parade will start at 2:30 p.m. and travel down Park Avenue. The parade lineup will begin at Pepperell Primary School at 1 Dragon Drive at 2 p.m. As usual, Santa Claus will close out the parade in a vintage fire engine.

Finally, the lighting of the Christmas Star between the smokestack­s of the old Lindale Mill will take place at 5:30 p.m.

Over in Cave Spring, Small Town Christmas in the Country will begin at 9 a.m. and run through 4 p.m.

Artists, crafters and food vendors will be set up throughout Rolater Park so guests can browse and shop as they wait for the Christmas Parade to begin at 6 p.m.

The parade lineup will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Georgia School for the Deaf guard shack at Perry Farm Road. The parade will then go down to Alabama Street and turn left at the traffic light and end at Cave Spring Elementary School.

The top three floats and the grand marshal’s overall favorite will all receive cash prizes. The grand marshal’s overall favorite and first place winner will be awarded $100 each, second place will receive $75 and third place will receive $50.

Small Town Christmas in the Country will be going on from noon to 4 p.m. in Rolater Park on Sunday as well.
