The 74th Annual Kiwanis Christmas Parade got underway Saturday in Orange.
The event was part of a full day of holiday activities that included the Orange Convention and Visitors Bureau bringing back the Gumdrop Shop to downtown.
The Explore Orange team worked in conjunction with the Stark Foundation, Kiwanis, Heritage House and Lamar State College Orange to bring the holiday spirit to the community.
Following the parade, “Mickey’s Christmas Carol” movie, a lighting of the tree and pictures with Santa took place at Stark Park.
