I, for one, am very excited to see that the 100th Art Van Santa Parade has not happened yet, so I can avoid all those folks next year who will surely ask, “Is this your first time down to the parade?”
Granted, I love a good parade. There I said it.
And lucky for me and those who like me enjoy a good festive parade, I am looking forward to celebrating the 99th year of this festive event for the first time.
There will be parade floats, live music, and of course, a chance to have your photo taken with Santa courtesy of PNC Bank.
The parade kicks off at 9 a.m. on the corner of Michigan St. and Monroe Ave. and will travel south to Fulton.
The parade is led this year by the 2018 Grand Marshall and Guest of Honor Miss Michigan 2018, Emily Sioma. And lest you think she is the only celebrity, a certain man with a milk and cookies habit will be prowling the streets (and I don’t mean Michael Pfleghaar).
If you cannot make it out, watch all the parade drama on WOOD-TV8 from the comfort of your couch, shamelessly dressed in your blue snuggy.
