BOWLING GREEN – The Bowling Green Christmas Parade and Holiday Fine Arts Show will be held Saturday.
The art show will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Bowling Green Event Hall (formerly town hall). It will feature works of art in all mediums by local artists and students of Caroline County Public Schools. Works by local artists will be juried and on display for sale in the main hall while art created by students will be exhibited in the lobby. Refreshments will be available.
The Christmas parade will begin at 5 p.m. at the corner of West Broaddus Avenue and Main Street. Participating units will travel down Main Street to the intersection of Milford and Chase.
The parade is expected to have about 70-plus entries. They will be judged the preceding day, and the winners will be announced at the Bowling Green Event Hall after the parade.
This is the third year the parade will be held at night. The holiday lights add a festive touch to the event.
The parade of floats and other units will feature Santa Claus at the very end, riding in a horse and carriage.

A local church will present its 14th annual Living Nativity following the parade. The Living Nativity, put on by Calvary Baptist Church, will be staged at 7 p.m. St. Asaph
Calvary Baptist invites people to visit with the animals after the performance or meet in Calvary
