Event Parking Available at Pizza Hut Park
(December 4, 2009) Join the City of Frisco as we kick-off the holiday
season Saturday, December 5, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the 19th Annual
Merry Main Street located in Simpson Plaza at Frisco Square (intersection
of Frisco Square Boulevard and Coleman Boulevard). The Frisco tradition
features the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony beginning at 6 p.m.
Admission to the event is free, but some activities, as well as food and
drinks, require a fee.
Event parking is available in the Pizza Hut Park lots north of Main Street
between World Cup Way and Frisco Street. Two shuttle buses will run from
4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. to transport Merry Main Street guests from the
remote parking areas to Main Street. One of the buses can accommodate
special needs individuals.
A map of the parking areas and shuttle route is available on line at
FriscoMerryMainStreet.com. Click on ‘Merry Main Street’ on the left-side
menu. A link will be on the page called ‘Merry Main Street Parking and
Shuttle Map’.
Frisco elementary school choirs will perform favorite Christmas music from
three stages all evening, and Santa is taking time from his busy schedule
to take photos with the children of Frisco. Make sure you are on his ‘nice’
list. Some of the other very merry activities are:
* American Railroad Museum model train display
* Live reindeer
* Frisco Express train rides
* Santa’s Workshop
* Holiday treats
* Snowflake light show
* Horse-drawn carriage rides
Children 12 and younger are welcome to shop for a Christmas present for
their parents, brothers and sisters at The Kid’s Holiday Store in the
lobby of City Hall. The store is stocked with a variety of items, and
nothing costs more than $5. Entrance to the Kid's Holiday Store is to the
back (south) side of City Hall.
“Santa’s Helpers” will assist children as they shop. All shoppers will go
home with wrapped gifts. Children can reserve a time slot to shop in
advance. You can reserve a wristband for a shopping time slot for your
child beginning at 4:30 p.m. on December 5. The colored wristband will
coordinate with a 20 minute shopping time.
No parents are allowed in the store, but may wait for their child inside
the city council chambers. The shopping assistants will walk children back
to their parents after presents are gift wrapped. We appreciate the 2009
sponsors who helped us stock the Kid’s Holiday Store this year:
