A Hometown Holiday Tradition
The holiday season in McCalla just wouldn’t be the same without a community celebration full of laughter, lights, and local spirit. This year, the McAdory Fire Department is bringing all that joy to one familiar and convenient location — the Piggly Wiggly McCalla parking lot.
Families from across the area are invited to gather for a day of holiday fun, where memories are made and hometown pride shines brightest. Piggly Wiggly Birmingham is proud to support our local heroes and the traditions that bring us together year after year.
What to Expect on Event Day
Touch a Truck
A hands-on favorite for families, Touch a Truck gives children the rare chance to climb aboard emergency vehicles and meet the first responders who keep our communities safe. From fire engines to police cruisers, it’s a moment of excitement and education wrapped into one unforgettable experience.
Christmas Parade
Feel the energy as McCalla’s Christmas Parade rolls through the event area! Local schools, marching bands, and civic groups bring music, cheer, and plenty of holiday spirit to the streets. Whether you’re cheering from the sidelines or marching alongside your neighbors, it’s a festive showcase of what makes this community so special.
Tree Lighting Ceremony
As the sun sets, gather with your neighbors for the lighting of McCalla’s community Christmas tree. It’s a heartwarming moment of unity — one that captures the essence of a small-town holiday and creates a picture-perfect way to welcome the season.
