The City of Grovetown hosted its annual Christmas parade and Christmas festival on Saturday, Dec. 13, after the events were postponed last weekend due to weather.

Families lined Wrightsboro Road for the rescheduled parade before heading to Liberty Park for an evening of holiday festivities. The Christmas festival included food, craft vendors, and the city’s Christmas tree lighting.
