St. Louis kicks off the holiday season with its Small Town Family Christmas parade and reception with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The first Thursday in December at 6:00 p.m. a lighted Christmas parade begins at the intersection of Mill and North Street. The route follows Mill Street south to Saginaw, where it turns east and concludes near St. Louis High School. After the parade, little ones can visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus in the High School cafeteria. Often other businesses and organizations get in on the festivities.
