Quincy Sparkle & The Community Singalong at the Courthouse

Quincy Sparkle ~ An annual event where all the downtown merchants stay open late and provide appetizers and beverages to entice shoppers into their stores. There is also a Parade of Lighted Trucks, caroling, and a Tree Lighting Ceremony. This year, they also lit up a large Menorrah along with the tree on the Courthouse lawn.


The Quincy Courthouse Christmas Carol Singalong is an annual event that I really like to attend. It's really moving to hear everyone singing together (3 floors of marble) and also to hear the various church & community groups performing. Below are a few pictures for posterity.
