This year, the event will be even bigger and better than last year. Forty tons of snow are expected to be trucked in, and there will be two slides in addition to carolers, vendors and food.
The Miracle on Cleveland Street is put on by the Clearwater Downtown Partnership, and will be held in conjunction with the opening of Winter Wonderland on Ft. Harrison and Drew Street, and the Holiday Light Up in Station Square Park. During the Holiday Light Up, a glittering 25 foot evergreen tree will be decorated and lit in Station Square Park.
The “Deck the District Wreath Decorating Contest” will take place that same evening as well. Entries will be displayed in Station Square Park during the Holiday Light Up, and there will be cash prizes for the best decorated wreaths. First prize is $100, second prize is $50, and third prize is $25. There will also be a $25 “People’s Choice” prize. Wreaths must be delivered to Station Square Park on December 4th between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm. The contest is sponsored by the Downtown Development Board.

Miracle on Cleveland Street will take place on December 4th at 5:30 pm, and the light up will take place at 7:30. All events are free to the public.
