Thousands gathered in downtown Butler Saturday night to kick off the holiday season.
The annual Spirit of Christmas Parade drew a big crowd for the City of Butler’s only nighttime parade.
Over 60 entries participated, ranging from youth sports teams to local businesses.
The Parade will also soon be available to watch on the Armstrong Neighborhood Channel. The parade was a presentation of the Butler Radio Network and Peoples, an essential utilities company.
