Holiday Tree Lighting

Join your neighbors at this free, all-ages event and kick of the Holiday Season with the annual lighting of Downtown Boise's Holiday Tree! This nearly thirty year old tradition includes live music from local band Red Light Challenge, a candle-lighting ceremony, guest speakers, and (of course) the Mayor's countdown and lighting of the Holiday Tree, which will illuminate the Grove Plaza through the new year.
The Holiday Tree also serves as Downtown Boise's Giving Tree! We are so proud to partner with the Women's and Children's Alliance each year to give Boiseans a fun way to support neighbors in need during the Holiday Season. Each year, the tree is decked out with gift tags listing items needed by a local families. Take a tag or two, find your gift downtown, and donate new and unwrapped items to the Women's and Children's Alliance.
The Tree Lighting Event is also the season opening of the Holidays on the Grove Vendor Sheds! Be sure to check out the rotating vendors during the Tree Lighting and throughout December.
