Before Santa could even start packing his sleigh, Grinnell gathered downtown to kick off the holiday season with the annual Jingle Bell Holiday.
The celebration took place Friday, Nov. 21, led by the Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with dozens of local businesses. Together, they filled the town with festive spirit, lining streets with holiday decorations, food trucks, music, pop-up markets and plenty of cheer.
