Tifton’s Hometown Holidays Celebration canceled due to forecasted weather, holiday cheer will happen for the Friendly City

TIFTON, Ga. – For the safety of our families, participants, vendors, and community, the difficult decision has been made to cancel our original Hometown Holidays Celebration plans for 2023 due to the forecasted weather that is projected for Saturday, December 2nd.

The City of Tifton is committed to bringing Holiday Cheer to our community by rescheduling our Annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 9th. The parade will begin at 5:00pm and the route will be 2nd Street from Magnolia Drive to Love Avenue and turning north on Love Avenue from 2nd Street to 6th Street.

After the parade, we invite the community to attend our Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony which will be held at 6:30pm outside of City Hall. Santa Claus will also make an appearance at City Hall for families and children to have their picture taken with him. While we will not be able to offer our original plans, we are looking forward to having food trucks, s’mores stations, bouncy houses, and other family-fun activities for the community to enjoy along 1st Street and Commerce Way.

All food vendors and parade entries will be notified immediately in regard to the date change.

We invite all media to attend our newly scheduled date of events and hope the community will support and celebrate the Holiday Cheer in Downtown Tifton.
