Truckee Downtown Tree Lighting
Friday, November 17th
Thanksgiving is around the
corner. To kick off the holiday, the Downtown Holiday Festival & Bud Fish
Tree Lighting in Downtown Truckee is this Friday. This event has been a
local tradition for over 35 years and brings out the kid in all of us.
Starting off the night at
4:15pm, local elementary school children will be decorating 37 small trees that
hang on the light posts lining Donner Pass Road in downtown Truckee. Each
class will make hand crafted ornaments, each tree is unique and creative.
Take a stroll down the lane to admire the young artists at work on their
class tree.
As the night starts to turn
to dusk head over to the train station and warm up with some hot cocoa and
cookies. Keep your eyes open as the man in the red suit arrives in style
aboard Truckee’s own vintage fire engine. Santa will oversee the lighting
of the town tree and all of downtown while the crowd helps with the countdown.
Kids of all ages are
welcome to come and sit on Santa’s lap and tell him a Christmas wish.
Photographers will be capturing the moment for each family.
By the end of the night,
town will be full of twinkling lights and ready for the holiday season!
