Sleigh Bells Ring in Manistee

It’s that time of year again, when the city of Manistee turns back the clock to the Victorian era for their Sleighbell Parade and Old Christmas Weekend! The fun begins Thursday, Dec. 5, with ice shaking, a Christmas history talk, a Krampus Krawl bar crawl, and the Manistee Choral Society’s Annual Victorian Christmas Concert. Friday has a cookie crawl, holiday bracelet making (’tis the damn season!), the inaugural Manistee Art Stroll, jingle bell karaoke, and more. Saturday is the big day with a holiday craft show, the Jingle Bell Jog, appearances by the Grinch, Buddy the Elf, and Santa, and the big parade and celebration! Wind down on Sunday as the Manistee Civic Players present Matilda the Musical and explore a community art exhibition. Find the full weekend schedule at manisteesleighbellparade.com.
