Nobody does Christmas like Nonantum. And on Sunday, the jolly man in red enjoyed a parade through the village and stopped by Coletti-Magni Park afterwards.
The annual parade—organized by the Nonantum Children’s Christmas Party Association—featured Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph, Santa and Nonantum icon Frank Battista belting out Christmas carols from the bed of a tow truck.
The Nonantum Children’s Christmas Party Association has been spreading the Christmas spirit in Newton for 70 years, in addition to providing gifts to veterans, seniors and families in need.
Check out these photos from the parade.
