A time-honored tradition in downtown Cary—the Merry Cary Holiday Parade & Festival on Sunday, December 8, from 12:30-3:30 p.m.! This festive family celebration brings the holiday spirit to life with pony rides, horse-drawn sleigh rides, a petting zoo, and caroling by Caring Hearts & Voices. Warm up with a hot chocolate bar and enjoy activities like face painting, cookie decorating, and board game fun. Make sure to visit Santa, meet the “Christmas Belle & Ariel,” and catch a glimpse of the “Holiday Grouch!”
