Saint John kicked off the very first Uptown Sparkles event last night. The city was getting into the Christmas spirit with carols, choirs,horse-drawn carriage rides, and more.
Kent MacIntyre is President of the Rotary Club in Saint John. The Boys and Girls Rotary club choir kicked off the group's 100th anniversary at King's Square during the event.
MacIntyre says, Uptown Sparkles is an event for everyone in the community to enjoy for years to come.
He tells Tide News, " you can get out outside in the fresh and just have some local entertainment. You can interact with folks. It's absolutely wonderful."
