Crowds lined Main Street on Friday evening for Madison's annual Santa Parade, which culminated in the lighting of the Christmas tree at Main Street and Waverly Place.

This year's parade included a historic fire engine donated to Madison by Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge, first responders, the Madison High School marching band, and, of course, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.

Black Friday in Madison also included live music acts at 15 venues throughout the day.
