Town announces Christmas Eve Parade Route

(Editor’s Note: Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s office issued the following press release this week regarding the town’s traditional Christmas Eve Parade.)

Santa Claus will make his way through Saugus spreading holiday cheer during the annual Christmas Eve Parade.

The parade will step off from the Saugus Public Safety Building on Wednesday, Dec. 24, at 6 p.m. Members of the Saugus Police Department and Saugus Fire Department will lead the procession, which will feature many vehicles decorated with shimmering lights and Santa Claus and friends waving to residents.
