The City of Florissant and Meridian Waste work together to dispose of day-after Christmas garbage.

Christmas Lights in Old Florissant

We drove every block of Florissant's Old Town between Rue St. Joseph and Washington street from North to South and St. Ferdinand and North New Florissant from east to west.

However you celebrate the season, enjoy a little bit of warmth and cheer as you look through these neighborhood lights.
