Presented annually by Howell's Chamber of Commerce, the Fantasy of Lights Parade is a treat for the entire family!

As always, the Fantasy 5K race will take place at six p.m. before the parade. If you're interested in running, you can sign up here. 

There will be lots of entertainment, beautiful floats, marching bands, and of course Santa Claus to look forward to! The parade starts at seven p.m., but make sure to get there early to walk the town and see all the goings on. 

 And while you're walking the town, stop by Heart of Michigan to warm up with a $1 hot cocoa or coffee!

See you there!
