Gardner Kicks off Christmas Season with Music, Merriment, and Lights
Gardner Magazine’s Collage of Photos is due to the picture and video taking efforts of Gardner’s Queen of Fun Patti Bergstrom and Merry Mayor Michael Nicholson who were both on hand with scores of people on Sunday, December, 2024.
Mayor Nicholson posted, “It’s officially Christmas Time in the City – with the lights all on in Monument Park, Lafayette Square, Downtown, City Hall, and in South Gardner.” Listen to the song “Officially Christmas in Gardner” on any device. CLICK PLAY.
Festivities began at 4pm at Gardner City Hall with Music and Caroling. A parade brought event goers to Monument Park where there was more music and Santa Claus recited “The Night Before Christmas”. Triple T Family Farm provided FREE carriage rides to those attending. Gardner High Band and Gardner Middle School Chorus delighted the crowd.
Mayor Nicholson posted that carriage rides will be back during a horse drawn carriage Christmas Light Tour of the Downtown on December 19th from 4-6pm. Cost: FREE.
Gardner Magazine has a special “A Chair City Christmas” page with 31 versions of an original tune. CLICK HERE.
