PHOTO GALLERY: DOWNTOWN PARADE OF LIGHTS

Thursday night, the streets of downtown Athens were filled with holiday revelry as the Downtown Parade of Lights made its way up Clayton Street. The theme this year was "Cooking Up a Great Holiday!"

There were over 90 groups in this year's parade, including an appearance by Athens-Clarke County Mayor Kelly Girtz and several ACC Commissioners. This year's Parade Marshal was award-winning chef Peter Dale.

A native New Yorker, Lara is new to Athens, having just moved to this delightfully quirky town in 2021. She’s been working in broadcasting for the last 25 years in markets such as New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and Atlanta. When she’s not at WUGA, you can find Lara covered in cats, playing D&D, or skating (as a rookie) with Classic City Roller Derby.
