Bridgman goes big for Holiday Village

BRIDGMAN, Mich. -- The small city of Bridgman went big on Saturday for their annual Holiday Village celebration.

The day featured more than a dozen events that took place throughout the city, ranging from the Bridgman courtyard to local restaurants.

Some of the features included free hot chocolate, face-painting, crafts and more.

One of the fan-favorites each year is the pet parade, where residents are given a police escort as they walk the streets with their furry friends.

The pop-up market, hosted inside the Immanuel Lutheran Church was a popular destination as well, giving local artisan vendors the chance to share their handmade goods with the community.

The festivities wrapped up with community caroling and the lighting of a Christmas tree downtown.
