The holiday season officially begins on Devine Street on Thursday with Devine Night Out. The annual festive event takes place from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, with shopping discounts at local stores, live music, and a visit from Santa at the tree lighting ceremony at the Firehouse.

What to look out for

Not only will the kids get to see Santa, which should have them on their best behavior, but there will be a “winter wonderland” with a snow-making machine, along with face painting and balloon artists.
