City of Albany Announce Winners of 34th Annual Celebration of Lights!
Thursday, December 12th, 2024
The City of Albany extends a heartfelt thank you to our amazing community for making the 34th Annual Celebration of Lights a resounding success! This year’s event brought together families, friends, and visitors to enjoy a magical evening under the twinkling Christmas lights of Downtown Albany.
The celebration featured incredible local entertainment, a bustling Christmas Village filled with delicious food trucks and unique arts and crafts vendors, festive appearances by beloved cartoon characters, and the much-anticipated Parade of Lights. Of course, bringing up the rear of the parade was none other than Saint Nick himself, spreading holiday cheer to young and old alike!
For the first time ever, we introduced inaugural judging of the parade entries, and the creativity, spirit, and joy displayed by all participants were truly inspiring. We are proud to announce the winners of this year’s parade competitions:
