The Chamber of Commerce Village of Lights is held each year the Saturday following Thanksgiving and is is the kick-off to the Christmas Season in Mount Vernon. The Village of Lights is an all day event that is perfect for getting you in the mood for the Holiday Season.
Holiday Homes Tour - 12:00pm to 4:00pm
The festivities begin with a Holiday Homes Tour, which consists of approximately 5-6 homes that open their doors to share their special seasonal decor. Tickets are $5.00 in advance and $7.00 the day of the tour. Proceeds from the tours have been spent in recent years to purchase lights to illuminate the Historic Lawrence County Courthouse located in the center of the town square.
Meet Santa 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Everyone needs to make some time to stop by the Chamber office to meet with Santa! He will let you know if you are on the "Naughty or Nice" list.
Christmas Parade - 4:45pm
Next on the agenda is the Annual Christmas Parade which begins at 4:45pm around the square.
Courthouse Lighting - 5:00pm
You will want to stick around after the parade to watch the lighting of the historical Lawrence County Courthouse.
