Christmas in Cashiers

The most wonderful time of the year is officially here! The Cashiers Christmas Parade was held last Saturday at noon. The sun was shining, the air was crisp and the citizens of Cashiers crowded the parade route in anticipation of the annual event.

There were marching bands, horses, firetrucks, antique cars … and even an Elf car made a special appearance! The Christmas Season is officially here in the mountains of North Carolina!
