Port got in the holiday spirit over the weekend with it's Christmas on the Corner event.

Reindeer waited outside for pictures with kids, and local businesses offered a variety of deals. Though fireworks were meant to finish the night with a bang, rainy weather on Saturday moved those to a New Year's Eve event. Port Washington Main Street hasn't released all the details of this event, yet.

To top the night off Saturday was the annual Christmas parade, and the float winners are now announced: winners are Dawgs in Motion, Lakeshore Newspapers (for the Santa float) and Beanies Mexican Restaurant. Judges also awared RE/MAX a "Crowd Pleaser Award."

"Congratulations to everyone for a job well done," Barb Kobishop, 2011 Christmas Parade Chairperson, said in an e-mail. "You are all unbelievable!"

If you have photos from this weekend's Christmas events or from the parade, please feel free to add them to this gallery!
