BALSTON SPA — The Ballston Spa Business & Professional Association's annual Ballston Spa Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting takes place Friday, Dec. 3. The parade step-off time is 6:30 p.m., proceeding on Milton Avenue and ending in Wiswall Park on Front Street with Santa lighting the village Christmas tree. 

The parade is a hometown-style holiday tradition, with fire trucks, floats, animals, kids and Santa parading down the main street of the village. The parade will spotlight the Toys for Tots campaign, in partnership with the Ballston Spa Community Emergency Corps, Saratoga County Sheriff Department and U.S. Marine Corps. Volunteers from these organizations will be on hand to collect donations of new, unwrapped toys from spectators along the parade route as well as at the tree lighting. 

New this year: parade entries will be judged this year in the following categories: Best Emergency Vehicle Entry, Best Ballston Spa Community Members Entry, Best Walking Entry and The Brightest Light Award. The brighter and more festive, the better. 

Organizations, groups or businesses interested in taking part in the parade, go to www.ballston.org to register. For more information, contact the BSBPA office at 518-885-2772 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
