Light Up Blue Ridge

The 2016 old-fashioned holiday celebration in downtown Blue Ridge starts at 10:30 a.m. at the Downtown City Park. The parade lineup begins in front of the Baptist Church at 11:00 a.m., Santa arrives on the train at 11:30 a.m. and the parade starts at 12 p.m.! Christmas characters roaming downtown Blue Ridge will greet visitors throughout the afternoon and evening, and there will be new music on the Main Stage for your enjoyment until the lighting of the tree around 7 p.m. You won't want to miss the live reindeer pulling Mr. and Mrs. Claus!
