SpiritFest Event to Provide Parade-Goers Abundance of Fun in Clarksville
November 8, 2015
Clarksville, TN – The first-ever SpiritFest, a celebratory holiday event at 2:30pm on Saturday, December. 5th, will offer an irresistible opportunity for those who gather early to watch the city’s 56th Annual Lighted Christmas Parade. It is being touted as “A Pre-Parade Celebration of Christmas.”
Rather than getting an early parking spot – then waiting through cold and boredom until the parade begins – parade-goers can enjoy a variety of family-friendly activities during SpiritFest.
SpiritFest will conclude with the lighting of First Presbyterian Church’s three historic rosette windows for the first time since their recent refurbishment.
