Supporting businesses and the community in working together to make Grand Ledge
a great place to live and do business
The Night Lights Christmas Parade, Tree Lighting and Festivities is on Friday December 6th! The Rotary Club is hosting a chili cookoff and Sun Theatre will be showing Shrek the Halls. Come early to head to the library at 4pm to make a gingerbread house!
Starting around 5pm that night, we will be roasting marshmallows around a fire pit in Bridge Street Plaza. Join us for some toasty fun and a front row seat as Mayor Thom flips the switch to turn the 3000 lights on our gorgeous tree this year!
If you want your business to walk or ride in the parade, be sure and sign up! We have almost 70 groups scheduled to participate. Our Grand Marshall this year is Retired Grand Ledge High School Principal Jill Mangrum! Click here to sign up for the parade!
Here is our parade route for this year!
The Parade starts at the Grand Ledge Fire Department and heads south on Bridge Street.
It will end at the Sun Theatre where Santa will climb down the firetruck, hand out candy canes before the movie starts.
If you want to stay warm throughout the evening, come roast a marshmallow in Bridge Street Plaza or sample chili at Ledges Sweat Shop hosted by the Grand Ledge Rotary Club.
We will also be enjoying holiday carols in the plaza throughout the evening.
Wednesday December 11th is our next monthly chamber breakfast meeting.
The Grand Ledge Country Club is hosting our holiday gathering in their clubhouse.
There will be a warm fire and lots of fresh baked breakfast items!
Make plans to join us at 9am at the Country Club at 5811 E Saint Joe Hwy to network with fellow chamber members!
Thank you to all our $2000 and up sponsors for 2019. We could not bring the events to the community without your generous support of the Grand Ledge Chamber of Commerce!
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for some fun year in review stories in December. You will see where we went in 2019, our accomplishments and growth throughout the year!
Thank you to each and every one of our 229 chamber members and 65 companies who sponsored all of our community events in 2019!
