Niantic will be basking in a holiday glow when the Niantic Light Parade returns to the village’s streets on Saturday.

This is a joyous, hugely popular event. Folks line Main Street and Pennsylvania Avenue to watch as businesses, bands and other organizations oh-so-creatively bedecked in lights drive a float or march along.
