Zeeland

Magical Christmas Parade

Date: Monday, Nov. 27

The Christmas tree lighting takes place at 6:15 p.m  at 21 S. Elm Street, Zeeland. Last year, there was a delightful Tuba Christmas concert prior to the parade composed of brass players of all ages. This year, downtown Zeeland’s sidewalk is under construction, though that won’t stop Santa Claus from making an appearance and downtown businesses will remain open.
