It’s a “Christmas Around the World,” this year for our 47th
Annual Holiday Parade in Downtown Saline. The parade is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3, at 5:30 p.m. Over the years this event has steadily gained a reputation as one of the biggest and best Holiday Parades in all southeast Michigan.
Holiday Parade festivities kick off with a special “Tree Lighting Ceremony,” on Tuesday, Nov. 29. Held at the main intersection in Saline on Michigan Ave & North Ann Arbor Street at 6 p.m., there are a few special holiday season thoughts, caroling, with the Saline High School Ten Tones Choir and tree lighting by Miss Saline, along with hot chocolate and cookies served in the KeyBank lobby who graciously open their doors for this event.
The parade start time is at 5:30 pm, and visitors are encouraged to show up before 5 p.m. Parking downtown is limited due to street closures, however; there will be a free Saline Area School Bus shuttle available from 4:00 – 8:00 pm., running between the UPS Store in the Busch’s shopping center and the West Henry Street parking lot behind Mac’s Acadian Seafood Shack.
This year’s Honorary Grand Marshall is the Saline Twirlettes World Show Corp, who brought home the Silver Medal from Worlds in the Netherlands this past July. And our Emcee for the Holiday Parade is Saline’s own Annherst Kreitz, Director of Development and Community Relations at Washtenaw Christian Academy.
Following the parade, children will want to visit Santa and Mrs. Clause at the Rock Paper Scissors Junior Toy Store located at 106 W. Michigan Ave, next to KeyBank.
All of this is coordinated by the Saline Area Chamber of Commerce with a wealth of businesses in our community and volunteer support. Thank you to the City of Saline, Busch’s Fresh Food Market for sponsoring our raffle, and other great sponsors, like DTE Clean Vision Energy Efficiency, Toyota, Jac Products, Thomson Reuters, American Soy, SBK Orthodontics, Saline Pharmacy, EHM Senior Solutions, Hartman Insurance, Kelly Orthodontics, Old National Bank, Jet’s Pizza, and many others. Much thanks to our volunteers as well, without you, this all could not be possible.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 72 and low of 49 degrees. Fog during the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon, overcast in the evening, fog overnight.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
