Candy Land Christmas Parade set for Dec. 12

Festival of Trees continues at Plaza Museum

The Canton Candy Land Christmas parade will be at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 12 but before the lights are twinkling through the downtown square, you can get a glimpse of the holiday finery at the Canton Chamber of Commerce’s Festival of Trees at the Plaza Museum.

The Festival of Trees is a fundraiser for the chamber. Businesses, groups or individuals decorate artificial Christmas trees and the trees are displayed in the Plaza Museum before being sold through a silent auction.

The auction is ongoing now and ends one hour after the Christmas parade Dec. 12.

Visitors can buy tickets to vote for their favorite entry and trophies will be awarded to the first, second and third place trees.

Tickets are $1 each, six for $5 or “an arm’s length” for $10.

The trees are on display during business hours through Dec. 12 and then before and after the Christmas parade.

The Plaza Museum is located at 119 N. Buffalo St.
