December 2nd, the first Saturday in December is always set aside for LakewoodAlive's Light Up Lakewood! Parade, vendors, music, food, fireworks and Santa!

The Lakewood Observer stopped by and checked out the event and the parade. What fun for all.

Here are some photos with a link to many more.

Thank you to LakewoodAlive and all their volunteers for this fun event.

Everyone having a good time, families started lining the Detroit Ave. early looking for a good spot to watch the parade.

By 4pm the streets were filling up with people shopping, visiting the vendors and walking Detroit.

Image
As darkness fell, the streets filled up. More than I ever remeber for this event.

Music playing everywhere.
