The Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan rolled back into Chatham-Kent last night.
Santa Claus and a full slate of holiday activities made their way across five communities.
Dresden was the first stop of the evening, as the caravan arrived at the Clock Tower Commons at 4:30 p.m.
Residents gathered at Rotary Park, many dressed in red, to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
Visitors were treated to Coca-Cola, donated by Ultramar, and candy canes courtesy of Christy Cummings.
Music was provided by Wendy and Jeff Vercauteren, adding to the holiday spirit.
Santa also made an appearance during the one-hour visit.
Pictures of the Dresden event were provided courtesy of volunteers with Dresden Shines.
The celebration continued an hour later in downtown Wallaceburg, where the caravan stopped in Parking Lot D at 5:30 p.m.
Families lined up for free photos with Santa and supported the Salvation Army’s holiday efforts by bringing canned goods and winter clothing.
Riversite Realty collected donations during the visit.
From there, the caravan carried on to Pain Court at 6:30 p.m., Chatham at 7 p.m., and Blenheim at 8:15 p.m., rounding out a full night of holiday festivities across the municipality.
