Black Friday isn't all about shopping in Bath Township. It's about community.

The Bath Business Association will host the 9^th Annual Wye Road Bridge Lighting Festival Nov. 23 starting at 5:30 p.m. Parents, bring your cameras because Santa Claus will come to town around 6 p.m.

"The Bath Business Association started this because we're about promoting business in Bath and keeping it rural," said event co-chair Nancy Fay. "We wanted to have a party to start the season."

Families can look forward to caroling, decorating ornaments, cookies and hot chocolate. The bridge will light up at 6 p.m. when Santa comes pulled by a Bath Township fire truck in his sleigh.

"It's a great get-together as a community," Fay said. "We have lots of fun little things going on, and of course cookies and hot chocolate are the best part!"

Here’s the lineup:

• 5:30 p.m. – Holiday carolers will lead attendees in a sing-a-long

• 5:50 p.m. – Welcome

• 5:55 p.m. – Holiday bridge lighting

• 6:00 p.m. – Santa arrives via the bridge

• 6:10 p.m. – Visits with Santa at CleverPup 101 in the Old Schoolhouse; bring your camera

• 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. – Cookies, hot chocolate, coffee and water available in the tent outside The Bake Shop in Ghent.

Hope to see you there!
