It's Christmas time in Navarre

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style, it's Christmas time in Navarre.

December 1, 2012, Saturday, come one come all to Navarre's Chamber of Commerce for the Jingle Bell Fest taking place all afternoon.

From 1 to 6 p.m. the Chamber will host the Jingle Marketplace where locals can come and browse for stocking stuffers. Also, from 3 to 6 p.m., get the photo you will need for your Christmas cards by having your picture taken with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

At 2:30 p.m. plan for Navarre's Annual Christmas parade that will begin by McDonald's and will weave and wind its way through neighborhood streets until it reaches the American Legion Hall.

Then in Navarre Park at 6 p.m. the annual lighting of the tree will commence.

It is a time to come and participate in the community and see neighbors. For visitors in Navarre, enjoy a taste of Christmas along the Gulf.

Some come out and enjoy -  Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile... It's Christmastime in Navarre.
