Christmas on Grand

  • Christmas on Grand 2023 was an enjoyable event where the residents of Yoakum kicked-off the holiday season. Children had fun playing in the snow, visiting with Santa, watching the lights come on the town Christmas tree, and experiencing the sights of the lighted Christmas parade.
