JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — Jamestown’s most festive night of the year will come to life on television and online as CCS-TV presents live coverage of the Jingle and Mingle Winter Festival and Holiday Parade on Saturday, Dec. 7, at 5 p.m.

The broadcast will feature the magic and excitement of this year’s event, which centers around a Candyland and Gingerbread theme. With floats, marching bands, and festive lights, the parade promises to delight viewers of all ages. The evening will also highlight several local holiday traditions and community initiatives, including a special look at the Toys for Tots program and a showcase of Jamestown’s Holiday Lights Contest.

This year’s Grand Marshal, Johnny LaMancuso, will ride atop the Toys for Tots float, marking his triumphant return after serving virtually in 2023 while undergoing medical treatment. LaMancuso’s inspiring story of resilience will take center stage during the broadcast.

Other features include exclusive interviews with local leaders, such as Jamestown Mayor Kim Ecklund, insights into the Blue Star Mothers’ Christmas Care Package Drive supporting U.S. troops overseas, and festive crowd reactions from parade-goers captured by CCS-TV correspondents.

The night’s festivities culminate with the Christmas Tree Lighting and a fireworks finale, bringing the community together to celebrate the holiday season.
