Fall River got ready for
Christmas with its annual parade down Main Street to Gromada Plaza in
front of Government Center on December 2, 2006. Hundreds braved cold
December winds and 40 degree temperatures to watch local bands, marching
groups and floats move from Kennedy Park to Gromada Plaza in front of
Government Center to watch Mayor Edward M. Lambert, Jr. count down the lighting of the
Christmas tree. Parade-goers were then invited to the Veteran's Memorial
Auditorium on Bank Street for free hot chocolate and pictures with Santa
provided by CD-Recreation staff. Click
