Tree Lighting Ceremony
Sunday, Dec. 7th
Happy Valley City Hall
4pm – 6pm
Join us for this FREE, family-friendly outdoor event filled with festive cheer. Enjoy live musical performances, seasonal treats, and kids’ activities. Santa will be on hand for photos and, of course, to lead the countdown as we light the tree together. Stroll through community booths, sip hot cocoa, and share the holiday spirit with friends and neighbors. Presented by Happy Valley Parks and Recreation, this annual tradition is the perfect way to celebrate the season.
Are your children interested in writing a letter to Santa?
Santa has let us know how excited he is to receive your special letters and will once again be issuing the City an official North Pole sub-station to be installed in front of City Hall. Once you are done writing your letter, just drop it off in the designated mailbox and on its way to the North Pole it will go! Santa let us know that he plans to write a response to each letter he receives, so be sure to follow all the directions on the worksheet, so he can successfully send his reply.
- Please note: Santa’s mailbox will only be accepting letters between Dec. 1 – Dec. 12. The last bundle of mail to Santa will be picked up by 5pm on Friday, Dec. 12, so make sure your letters are submitted by the deadline. Kids can expect to hear back from Santa by Dec. 23.
