Your favorite holiday tradition returns to Downtown Olean on Friday, November 29th, starting at 6:30 p.m. The procession will begin on the corner of Delaware Ave. and N. Union and proceed south into the heart of Downtown Olean. Floats, units, and theatrical groups will stagger and use both sides of the street, so make sure you get a good spot!
Seven Mountains Media will be emceeing the entire procession, from the first float to Santa’s arrival.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will have their traditional magical countdown to the illumination of the lights, at the intersection of State and Union. Come dressed in your holiday sweaters and scarves (and jackets!) and get ready to enter the magical holiday season.
And don’t forget, eight esteemed awards will be given out to select floats, chosen by our judges, Paula Synder, Jason Crisafulli, and Mayor William Aiello, located in front of Blue Bird Square.
