This year will also include new offerings, like a holiday movie screening at Memorial Bowl Amphitheater in Memorial Park, a larger stage for performers and presenters, a Kid’s Zone with expanded activities, and a business storefront decorating contest that will be judged by a panel composed of local community members.
