Collegeville residents "got jolly" with the Collegeville Main Street program on Dec. 1, celebrating the holiday spirit with a number of events.

Thanks to sponsorships from PNC Bank at Providence Town Center, Justin Bartomolucci's Edward Jones Financial Services, the Law Firm of Miller Turetsky Ruly & McLennan, The Valley Forge Running Company and Sol Angel, the holiday festivities expanded from last year..

The festivities kicked off at 3:30 p.m. with a Jingle Jog through the streets of Collegeville and the Perkiomen trail. A Holiday Bazaar was hold at the same time next to DaVinci's pub, offering residents unique gift options and food.

The evening was capped off with Santa arriving down main street, and the lighting of the Collegeville Christmas Tree.
