Town Tree Lighting
Address
The Town of Minturn’s annual Tree Lighting Celebration will take place Friday, December 2nd from 6 – 7pm. Join us for caroling, hot cocoa, kids Christmas trivia, a reading of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, and of course the lighting of the tree.
Once again this year, the Minturn Community fund will be organizing “The Giving Tree” at the Town’s annual Tree Lighting. The concept is simple: if you so choose, pick from a number of ornaments hanging on the gigantic lighted tree and help enrich the holiday season of many of our neighbors. Each ornament will include a holiday wish list of a Minturn kid, the needs of our Minturn seniors, or - new this year – a way to help purchase a holiday dinner for our very own local heroes: Minturn’s veterans. Be neighbors helping neighbors…come to the tree lighting and learn more! If you can't make it to the tree lighting, more information about how to help will be posted following the event.
Additionally this year – downtown Minturn will be hosting a Christmas Shopping Hour to follow the tree lighting. Participating downtown retailers will be staying open late, and include Minturn Mercantile, Antique Accents, The Scarab and Wild Mountain Cellars. Minturn Mercantile is offering 20% off the entire store and will be serving hot cider. Wild Mountain Cellars will be open and offering wine specials (on bottles and by the glass). Other retail offers vary.
Collect a token at the tree lighting, good for a special offer at these retailers. Come do some Christmas shopping and SHOP LOCAL! While you're here, grab dinner at one of Minturn's downtown restaurants. We hope to see you there!
