It’s time once again for the Annual Clinton Shoppers’ Stroll & Holiday Parade hosted by the Clinton Chamber of Commerce on Friday, November 26th and Saturday, November 27th 2021.

The Shoppers’ Stroll – Non-profits ONLY have the opportunity to set on on the village green on Friday, November 26th and Saturday, November 27th, 2021. Participants in the past have offered special sale items, holiday music, displays, refreshments and free samples. Be creative! It is your participation that makes this event such a special day for the community to kick off the holiday season. Booth layout on the village green will be determined prior to the event day and based on the amount of snow on the green. Please indicate if you will need electricity as there is very limited access and cannot be guaranteed.

The following non-profit organizations will be participating:

Clinton High School Chamber Singers/Reading of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas/Tree Lighting – All invited to attend. Starting at 6 pm, the Clinton High School Chamber Singers will perform in the gazebo. Reading of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas will follow the Chamber Singers, then the Tree Lighting
