Chelsea Christmas Parade 2016

With only one week until Christmas, Santa took time away from building toys to join the annual Chelsea Christmas Parade.

Santa and Mrs. Claus rode their sleigh through Chelsea on Saturday, Dec. 17, accompanied by the Chelsea City Council, Chelsea High School marching band, Boy and Girl Scout troops, other civic organizations, fire engines and many local businesses. Aboard floats decorated in a variety of Christmas themes, community members tossed candy and other goodies to children lining the streets.

Under an enormous, waving American flag, council member Tiffany Bittner and new Mayor Tony Picklesimer helped emcee the event for the crowd and those listening on Kool 96.9 FM and Facebook Live. In addition to performing Christmas carols as they marched, the Hornets band gave a special rendition of Amazing Grace in front of the announcer's grandstand.

The parade also included a Christmas market at the end of the parade route and local singers performing Christmas carols.
