Hoppin' in Honesdale: Parade, tree lighting rings in holiday season

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Honesdale Borough rang in the holidays right with a parade down Main Street the night of November 29, featuring waving gingerbread folk, flashing lights from emergency vehicles and even some faux snow, sprayed from one of passing vehicles.

After the parade, the shivering masses gathered in Honesdale’s Central Park for the lighting of the Christmas tree and the star on Irving Cliff.

Honesdale Mayor Derek Williams informed the crowd that neither of those two displays ran on electricity; instead, they ran on “pure holiday magic,” he said.

It took a few tries to get the lights on the tree to flicker to light, but the crowd assisted with roaring countdowns each time, spreading that holiday magic with the power of belief.
