The weekend starts early with holiday festivals on Friday in Manette and on Bainbridge Island. I hear Manette has an ugly holiday sweater event. We tried that one year at the Kitsap Sun, but nobody looked any different than they do every day.
On Saturday, Port Orchard will hold its 12th annual Festival of Chimes and Lights, with the ever popular pets-in-holiday costumes parade. Other Saturday festivals take place in Poulsbo and Gig Harbor.
Tracyton will have a tree lighting Sunday and festivals are planned in Oldtown Silverdale (Dec. 11) and Port Gamble (Dec. 11 and 12).
