November 27th - January 2022
LIGHT UP THE PARK
It's the moment children who are young and old have been waiting for all year! The park is dark but there is a hum of excitement as people gather and share cookies and hot chocolate waiting for the program to begin. It's coming together to share traditions of reading the Christmas story, singing carols and wait for it..... Santa arrives and Lights the Park with millions of twinkling lights! There is a sense of magic at the first blink of twinkling Christmas lights and that magic will happen at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park starting 6pm on November 27th. Evenings set amongst the softly lit trees of the park, joy and laughter from the ice skating rink, it's all available for you throughout the holiday season.
November 27th - December 24th

The downtown Christmas Season in Highlands also launches with Trim Our Town on November 27th. The event is a storefront decorating contest and is a People’s Choice award!
