Jingle Mingle arrives tonight in Gainesville square
1008jingle3
Santa makes his entrance in downtown Gainesville during last year’s annual Jingle Mingle on the square to usher in the holiday season. The event includes kiddie train rides and free horse-drawn carriage rides with the evening culminating in the lighting of the Main Street Market’s Holiday Chicken.
Much like the song “Here Comes Santa Claus,” the jolly old elf is coming to Gainesville when Jingle Mingle returns to town tonight. Complete with the annual Holiday Chicken lighting, the free event will be from 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, in the downtown square. “The lighting of the chicken this year is going to be even bigger and better with a light show,” said Regina Mansfield, the Main Street Gainesville manager.
