Holiday lovers young and old enjoyed the sights and sounds of the annual Smithville Christmas parade late Saturday afternoon followed by other activities during Christmas on the Square.
For the second year in a row, both events were combined into one night of holiday fun with the parade kicking it all off just as the sun was starting to set.
Many parked along the route to see the show as the parade motored down Congress Boulevard before turning onto East Main Street by City Hall into the Public Square. Others gathered downtown to get a closer look as the parade passed by and to scoop up some candy tossed to them by participants.
