Downtown Tree Lighting and First Friday Celebration- Dec. 5th

December 05 - December 05

The festive season in Grants Pass kicks off in style with its annual tree-lighting ceremony, on First Friday, December 5th as the corner of 5th & G Street transforms into Holiday Plaza.  Families and friends are invited to join an evening of caroling, craft vendors, hot cocoa, and visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus. Snap some family photos at the decked out Holiday Plaza and explore downtown’s fiber optic Magical Murals. Watch as Santa lights downtown’s 40ft tree, drop by the sock rink at the Children’s Museum, and stroll around downtown shops as they extend their evening hours for First Friday. With the swirl of community spirit, vendors, and horse-drawn carriage rides, it’s a warm-hearted kickoff to winter and the holiday shopping season.

Activities kick off at 3pm, the tree lighting will be at 7pm and activities will go until 9pm.
