The city of Red Bank is moving its annual Christmas Parade, traditionally held on Dayton Boulevard the first Friday night in December, to Saturday, Dec. 6.
Craft and food vendors will set up in the city park across from Bi-Lo starting at noon. The parade begins at 5 p.m. and vendors will remain in the park until around 7 p.m.
“It’s an ongoing tradition,” said Ruth Jeno, one of the event’s organizers. “Hopefully it will be a warm, fun day.”
She said the parade was moved to Saturday this year so people would be off work and there would be more daylight hours for vendors. There will also be no Friday afternoon traffic and businesses on Dayton Boulevard will not have to close early that Friday afternoon, said Jeno.
“It will be a little more relaxed,” she said.
