It's already that time of year, isn't it? When people start mentioning how they are already DONE with their Christmas shopping and you haven't even STARTED yet. And, of course, the whole it's-Christmas-not-holidays debate… yeah, it's that time of year. One thing we can all agree on, it's always awesome to have a U.P. town listed as one of the best places for a celebration, as Marquette was for their tree-lighting festivities.
Excerpt: One of my favorite Upper Peninsula cities is Marquette, and this weekend the annual parade and tree lighting ceremony returns as Third Street is transformed into the North Pole. Along the parade route, volunteers collect letters for Santa Claus. After the parade, everyone is invited to Marquette Commons to visit with Santa, who also lights the city's Christmas tree.
