Something magical is coming to Margaret Street in downtown Plattsburgh, NY on Saturday, December 2nd!
The City of Plattsburgh and Strand Center for the Arts are teaming up to present a full day of festive fun for North Country residents — “A Miracle on Margaret Street.” Join in the celebration with kids art activities and the annual Merry Mug fundraiser on the Strand Center’s front lawn, as well as a ticketed, live performance of the Nutcracker Ballet hosted in their historic theatre.
Be sure to check out the pre-parade holiday warm-up show featuring Fermata Nowhere and Center Stage Dance Studio on the Margaret Street stage. And finally, you won’t want to miss the “Winter Wonderland in the North Country!” themed Holiday Parade through downtown Plattsburgh and tree lighting on the Strand Center’s front lawn. For families looking for a quieter parade experience without sirens, music or flashing lights, there will be a quiet, sensory friendly zone on the parade route located at the South East corner of Brinkerhoff and Catherine Streets.
