Today is one of the best days to live along the North Main corridor in NOMA ~ the North Main Neighborhood!
Today, the 56th Annual Holiday Caravan Parade will head down Main Street from Spencer into downtown Salisbury!
The Holiday Caravan Parade is an annual tradition ~ Always held the Wednesday before Thanksgiving! It is an event you do not want to miss!
The parade begins in Spencer at 2:00PM, where they will be marching. They take a little break through much of N. Main Street, but it's still fun to see the floats go by (even though we would LOVE to hear the marching bands!!). They pick up again in full parade marching glory in Salisbury at 3:00PM!
Be sure to wave to Santa Claus!
Once you're stuffed to the brim with turkey and all the fixin's ~ head downtown on Friday evening!
This Friday, Downtown Salisbury celebrates the season with their annual Holiday Night Out!
On Friday, November 27th, from 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm, dear old Santa Claus and his friend the Grinch make their appearance while Victorian Voices fills the streets with holiday carols.
Hop on the trolley to warm up from the chilly night air to tour the downtown in style while enjoying the festive décor or catch a horse & carriage ride from West Fisher and South Main (beside Caniche).
Our wonderful downtown shops will be opened late to satisfy your family's wish list.
As if that isn't enough ~
Scrooge's Christmas Trolley Tour also starts this weekend, and runs through Christmas!
Lee Street Theatre in collaboration with the Salisbury-Rowan County Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Historic Salisbury Foundation, presents this period production with the audience boarding a trolley for an evenings journey with Scrooge himself as emcee. This special interactive trolley ride will recreate various scenes of Dickens’ classic 1843 tale “The Christmas Carol.”
Passengers travel back in time to Christmases’ past with Scrooge on his journey via the trolley to see scenes from this wonderful holiday story acted out at historic sites in Downtown Salisbury. This is a live-theater presentation that your family will not want to miss this holiday season. For more info, visit: http://www.thecommunitypicnic.com/events/scrooges-christmas-trolley-tour/

Right up N. Main Street in the other direction ~ hop on the Polar Express!
The North Carolina Transportation Museum is again featuring the Polar Express Train Rides this holiday season! These very popular rides were sold out by October last year!
Inspired by the hit movie, this holiday favorite comes to life as you and your family take a ride on THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride!
Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, families are sure to enjoy their trip to the North Pole, complete with hot chocolate and cookies served on board the train. Passengers will then be entertained by a reading of The Polar Express. Upon arrival at the North Pole, Santa will greet the children and present each with the first gift of Christmas. On the return trip, each child will receive their own silver sleigh bell, heard by all those who BELIEVE. Families are encouraged to wear their pajamas for the ride and join in on the magic of Christmas!
So NOMA ~ Experience the joy of the holidays that will surely become annual holiday traditions for the whole family.
And at the center of it all ~ THE BEST NEIGHBORHOOD! Traditions bring us together!
