This past weekend, downtown St. Marys was filled with warmth, light, and community spirit as two beloved holiday events came together to create something truly special.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the waterfront transformed into a glowing scene during Set Sail with Santa. Decorated boats lit up the water, creating a magical backdrop that brought smiles to faces of all ages. The reflections of twinkling lights on the river, paired with crisp evening air, made for a picture-perfect start to the night.

There’s something truly special about Christmas in the Park in Downtown St. Marys, and 2025 did not disappoint, the park transformed into a festive gathering place filled with laughter, music, and the unmistakable joy of the Christmas season.

The Christmas season officially kicked off in magical fashion at the St. Marys White Lighting event, as downtown transformed into a glowing celebration of holiday cheer. Families, friends, and visitors gathered to enjoy an evening filled with lights, laughter, and the unmistakable spirit of Christmas in our community.
