Christmas at the Courthouse

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury is decking the halls in preparation for the “Christmas at the Courthouse” celebration, a free event that will take place from 3-8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5, at the Historic Calcasieu Courthouse, 1000 Ryan St., Lake Charles.

Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with a host of other holiday characters, will be on site to spread Christmas cheer and to pose for photos with residents of all ages.

After the lights are turned on at 5:30 p.m., stick around to watch a classic Christmas movie.

There will be free popcorn, cotton candy, candy canes, soft drinks and hot chocolate served at the event.

The event will be canceled in the event of inclement weather. The cancellation will be announced in the media, as well as on the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s website at calcasieu.gov and on CPPJ’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
