Community Christmas Kickoff

A new event to Upton is the Upton Community Christmas Kickoff, hosted by the Upton Chamber of Commerce. Ring in the holiday season in Upton and join us as we come together for an afternoon of celebration. Come get your taste on, with a variety of soups made by businesses and residents in the greater Upton area available to try at the event.

The arrival of Santa Claus is undoubtedly the highlight of the day, and children of all ages look forward to the chance to meet the jolly old man himself. Santa spreads cheer and goodwill as he gives out bags of goodies and poses for photographs with his adoring fans.

The event will conclude with the Christmas lighting parade and celebration, signaling the beginning of the holiday season. Join us this year as we ring in holidays, together
