Have a ball in Nederland

Santa rides a fire truck in the Nederland Lighted Christmas Parade. Catch the candy and the excitement as this quaint town, a Port Arthur neighbor, celebrates the season. Tex Ritter Park features an oversized Christmas ornament welcoming visitors to the Dutch Windmill Museum and La Maison Acadienne. Get your holiday goodies at consignment, craft and clothing shops along brick-lined Boston Avenue.

The Nederland Chamber of Commerce Annual Lighted Christmas Parade will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13. The parade will begin at the corner of 21st Street and Nederland Avenue, proceed toward Twin City Highway and turn left onto 12th Street, then head left onto Boston Avenue.
