Join Elevations Credit Union and at the
Annual Downtown Holiday Lighting Ceremony.

 

The Lighting Ceremony kicks off the holiday season in Old Town Square with live music from 5:30pm - 7pm and a short countdown to light-up at 6:30pm. It's free, family-friendly, and draws thousands of people into the downtown core - and this year it lands on a First Friday, so Downtown Fort Collins First Friday Art Walk (6pm-9 pm).

The Downtown Holiday Lights is a partnership between the City of Fort Collins, the Downtown Development Authority and the Downtown General Improvement District. The ceremony is brought to you by Fort Collins Connexion.

Elevations Credit Union will be out and about with Freddy the Yeti - handing out goodies for kids of all ages!
