The next event will be a Christmas party, Dec. 7. Festivities will begin at 6 p.m. with a Christmas parade. Each entry in the parade will receive a coupon for an item at Tampa Café. Parade participants will gather on Roosevelt Street between Third and Fourth at 5:45 p.m. Activities after the parade will include caroling, games, shared snacks, and a visit from Santa Claus who will pass out treats to children.
TCA also will sponsor Christmas lighting displays. People with outdoor Christmas lights may register until Dec. 5 at the café. Those names will be entered in a drawing for a $25 gift certificate.
