She said there will be live performances and activities designed “to put everyone in a festive mood.” Live music and performances include the Fairfield Starz Dancers and Cincinnati Christian Schools. Also, Rock on Ice will carve two ice sculptures on-site, and the first 100 kids will get their names carved in ice.
The parade will travel south on Southgate Boulevard, then travels east on Corydale Drive before turning south on Wessel Drive. Floats will park around Fairfield Commons Drive for spectators to view. The 2020 parade was a “reverse parade” where the public would drive by the stationary line of floats.
Those who can’t make the 2021 parade can see the live-stream broadcast hosted by Valere Studios.
After the parade, around 7:45 p.m., the annual tree lighting ceremony will be by Santa and Fairfield Mayor Steve Miller. Mays said there will be “a little extra special oomph for the tree lighting, a little extra surprise, so I think everyone would thoroughly enjoy it this year. We’re happy to be back and to provide the parade once again.”
