THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS IN FULL SWING

The Holiday Season has officially started and is in high gear here in Bainbridge!  The City of Bainbridge has an entire lineup of holiday activities to keep you busy this month. 

First, Christmas on the River will be held at the Earle May Boat Basin on December 2 at 6:00 p.m.  There will be singing by local choirs, hay rides, marshmallow roasts, hot cocoa and the lighting of the Community Christmas Tree.  There will even be a special appearance by Santa Claus!

December 9 welcomes the Christmas Parade.  Starting at 7:00 p.m., the parade will begin on

Wheat Avenue and make its way to downtown Bainbridge.  Be on the lookout for candy, lights and Santa, as he visits Bainbridge once again!

If you’ve got some last minute shopping to take care of, Downtown Bainbridge is the place to do it on December 16 at Christmas on the Square.  Stores will be open late for shopping and there will be marshmallow roasts, hot cocoa and singing by local youth. 

Come out and enjoy the holidays at all of these great, free community events! 

City Offices will be closed on Thursday, December 23 and Friday, December 24 for the Christmas Holidays.  Offices will also be closed on Friday, December 31 for the New Year’s holiday.  Residential trash pick up will not be affected by the closings.  Since Christmas generally means extra trash for families, the City will have dumpsters set up at Public Safety on Shotwell St.  and at the Public Works Department on Pierce St. for citizens to use for free from December 23 – 27.
