Light Up Mars returns Saturday
Light Up Mars will bring holiday cheer to downtown Mars Saturday with winter-themed events, a tree lighting and a parade.
The event runs from 4 to 8 p.m. on Grand Avenue and Pittsburgh Street in the borough.
The tree lighting will take place at 5:30 p.m., and the parade will begin at 6 p.m. at Mars National Bank.
Last year's COVID-19-safe version of Light Up Mars was much smaller, Mayor Gregg Hartung said, but the festival is back in full swing this year.
“We did a downsized version, but didn't promote it a lot because we weren't sure about having too big of a crowd,” Hartung said. “We had a parade and Santa Claus, but it was sort of a limited edition of Light Up Mars.”
