The countdown to Christmas has begun in Sidney, and the community is invited to celebrate with a series of festive events. From free activities to unique dining experiences, there is something for everyone this holiday season.
Festivities start Friday, Nov. 29, with a free Open Skating session from 1-3 p.m. at the Richland Ranger Hockey Dome. Families can enjoy a fun afternoon on the ice, perfect for all ages. Make sure to grab a hot chocolate and your holiday spirit. It is the perfect start for a fantastic day. After you unlace your skates, head downtown to join Santa for a free movie at the Centre Theatre from 3:30-5:30 p.m., featuring the beloved holiday classic, “The Polar Express”. A story of a young boy who embarks on a train ride to the North Pole to see Santa Claus.
As the sun sets, the grand finale of the day is the annual Parade of Lights that will light up Central Avenue at 6:30 p.m. This year, the parade is shaping up to be the largest ever with close to 100 entries expected! Entries from local businesses, non-profits, school groups, families and individuals are encouraged to register. Go to https://www.eventcreate.com/e/sidney-parade-of-lights or call the Sidney Chamber of Commerce to register. Parade lineup begins at 5:30 p.m. at the South Shopko Parking Lot, inviting families to gather and enjoy the festive display of lights and community spirit.
The Cutting Edge Dance Studio will once again have the Sunrise City Rockettes performing their entertaining Christmas routine mid-way through the parade. The parade is a historical event in Sidney and it is promising to be a magical night downtown.
