The highlight of the day will be the entertainment. Area bands, dancers and vocalists will perform on center stage located in the old Fairmont firehouse. A unique combination of Italian and Christmas music and entertainment will be featured. There will be plenty of tables and chairs located in the firehouse and in various locations under shelter to keep warm. The street will be brightened up with Christmas lights and the sounds of music.
