December 2021 Group Watch: Christmas on the River Turns 50
Christmas on the River, a beloved Demopolis tradition that features a parade of brilliantly lit up boats floating down the stretch of the Tombigbee River that runs through the city, celebrated its 50th year with the 2021 event, held earlier this month. Upwards of 20,000 people gather each year to kick-off the holiday season with the festive display. The Bloom Group’s founder Hal Bloom was instrumental in bringing the event to life when he was director of The Demopolis Area Chamber of Commerce in 1972. Bloom’s contributions were honored at the 2021 event. Read more here.
