As winter approaches, the days get shorter and night comes earlier, and a Hermitage celebration will light up the darkness with a special procession.
This year will be the 25th for the annual Hermitage Holiday Light Parade, and it will head out from the intersection of Kerrwood Drive and State Street. Flatbed trucks are available for any groups or business that would like to enter a float, and these may be reserved by calling 724-981-0800.
Any groups or companies that plan on taking part will need to attend the staging meeting, which is scheduled for November 14th at the Hermitage Municipal Building. It was explained that there will be staff and volunteers on hand at the staging area to provide support.
To thank the participants for helping to make the parade come to life, the entries will be judged and prizes awarded. The use of music and holiday lights in a creative way is strongly encouraged, and the creators of the entries that win a prize will be able to pick theirs up on November 20th.
When preparing a parade entry, planners may want to include items prepared for them by a specialist banner printing company in the overall design of their float, to ensure they reach the desired specifications.
The date for the 2023 Hermitage Holiday Light parade is scheduled for November 18th. Further information can be found on the Hermitage website.
