Mark your calendars for the annual Christmas parade on Main Street Oneonta, New York, November 23, 2013.  Main Street will fill with holiday cheer as everyone awaits the big delivery...Santa Claus!  The parade is at 11am and after is a fun scavenger hunt with participating Main Street businesses.

Halloween is quickly approaching and there are some fun Halloween events in Oneonta on the way, starting this weekend to mark on your calendar for family fun:

I went to Main Street Oneonta's "Light Up The Harvest" this past Saturday and heard some great music.  The Roundhouse Rockers provided music for the event and they sounded awesome.  The music was tight, the vocals were strong, and the familiar songs had everyone singing along.

"Light Up the Harvest" pumpkin carving and glow, presented by Main Street Oneonta, is this Saturday, October 26, 2013 from 2pm to 7pm.  This will be a fun family event with activities for the kids, theatrical performances, stories, and music by "Roundhouse Rockers".  Main Street will be all a glow as hundreds of pumpkins will be lit at 6pm.

Another great event taking place in Oneonta...Fabulous Friday this evening featuring SkyanI, Stukulele, art displays, food sampling, and more!  Fabulous Fridays are every first and third Friday of the month for the season.  Be sure to grab your rack card when you get to the the plaza on Main Street...

Another Fabulous Friday in Downtown Oneonta is planned for tomorrow.  Jazz music in the plaza, food samplings, art work, and beer tasting with Brewery Ommegang.  Plus, the weather will be great.

The first cash mob ever comes to Main Street Oneonta on Tuesday afternoon. Mike Kleszczewski organized the event and explained what is a cash mob and how it helps local businesses.

Another great holiday tradition is the Main Street Oneonta Gingerbread Contest.  This year's theme is "My Favorite Things".  Each submission is an original gingerbread design created to fit the theme.  Here is the schedule to drop off your entry:

This Thursday the Greater Oneonta Historical Society is organizing a walk up and down Main Street called "Main Street Oneonta: Past, Present, & Future".

Tonight, Main Street Oneonta will be fabulous!  The first Friday of each month is Fabulous First Friday in downtown Oneonta.  Be sure to grab your lime green colored rack card for your list of events and venues.  It kicks off at 5pm in Muller Plaza ...
