From there the weekend kicks off with the Lighting of the Christmas Tree, the "Jingle Bell Mingle" market, live music in front of Parker Park, and a living Nativity at the First Baptist Church, complete with cookies, crafts, and petting stables. Finish the night with a tour of the lights and decorations at the West Feliciana Hospital campus.
