Get Fired Up For The Holidays!

Join in the fire fighter parade and celebration. Usher in the holiday season on Friday, December 4 as Hoosick Falls pays tribute to area fire departments with a lighted holiday parade and tree lighting ceremony. The Hoosick Youth & Community Center and the Youth Impact Team, a part of Hoosick Area Partnership for Parents & Youth (HAPPY), are organizing this event with the Village of Hoosick Falls.
Fire Engine Parade
Activities begin at 6 pm with a parade of fire engines decked out for the season. The parade will line up at the Hoosick Falls Fire Department and travel down Main Street to Wood Park. Please come out and cheer on our volunteer fire fighters.
Local organizations, churches, families, groups and individuals are invited to participate with a lighted float of their own. Please call 518-686-9050 and leave a message for Aelish Nealon or Beth Dillard if you intend to be part of the line-up. Participants must be in place by 5:45 pm to step off promptly at 6 pm.
Santa And Tree Lighting
Arriving with the parade will be the man of the season – Santa Claus, himself – so be sure to bring the kids.
At the Municipal Building, refreshments will be offered and Santa will visit with each of the children and hear his or her holiday wishes. Supplies to create ornaments for the Village Christmas tree in the Wood Park gazebo will be available.
The tree lighting, led by Santa, will take place in Wood Park at 7 pm. Everyone is invited to witness this symbolic kick-off to the holiday season. Upsy Daisy Florist is providing the park decorations.
Merchants Participating
Upsy Daisy Florist on John Street will have a special open house from 6 to 8 pm on December 4. Local eateries will also be open for all to enjoy before, during and after the parade and tree lighting. During the next few weeks, fire fighter theme holiday Dalmatians will be popping up in storefronts throughout the Village. Take a stroll around town, visit a few stores and see if you can spot all eight of them.
