On December 4, 1988, a replica of the old clock that had once stood in front of the first National Bank, originally the Merchant Bank of Punta Gorda, on West Marion Avenue (where Serendipity Salon and River City Grill are today) was dedicated to serve as a focal point for the City as the old clock had. It immediately became the place for carolers, Santa Claus and Punta Gorda's Christmas celebration every December.
This year on Friday, December 4th as part of Flounders Week that tradition will be renewed around Punta Gorda's beautiful newer Christmas tree right near the clock.
With entertainment provided by Mixed Up Duo, and choirs performing including the Community Church Choir and St. Mary's Primative Baptist Choir, Punta Gorda Christmas season will kick into full gear (the Christmas parade is Saturday). Local groups will lead in informal Christmas caroling. Santa will make an appearance. And the weather calls for intermittant snow.
