The Hood River Holidays celebration is coming up this Friday in downtown Hood River. It includes the annual holiday parade beginning at 6 p.m. Ashley May of the Hood River County Chamber of Commerce says with the growth of the parade, they have changed its route to avoid congestion around the Christmas tree in Overlook Memorial Park. It will run from 7th and Oak to 1st and Oak. Tree lighting and caroling will follow the parade at Overlook Memorial Park at 7 p.m.
