Anyone living in Excelsior Springs knows, we love a parade! Today the Excelsior Springs Christmas Committee kicked off the holiday season here in Downtown Excelsior with an Elf Factory, Lighted Parade, Pictures with Santa, Mayoral Christmas Tree Lighting, and celebration at the Hall of Trees in the Hall of Waters.
Whether it’s hanging lights and decorations around town or throwing pancake fundraisers in July, the Christmas Committee works hard year round, making us appreciate the holidays in our community that much more! Thanks to all the volunteers!
