Christmas Tree Lighting Festival

Join the 4th annual tree lighting.


You’re invited for festivities and fun in Historic Downtown Loveland! Kick off the holiday season with the annual tree lighting. This is a FREE, family friendly event with holiday activities for all ages.

Mayor Kathy Bailey and local celebrity Julie O’Neill will flip the switch to light the city’s Christmas tree, a pine standing more than 60 feet tall along the Bike Trail. Approximately 2,500 lights and 250 ornaments will adorn the tree, which will remain lit through the holiday season.

Immediately following the tree lighting ceremony, a holiday themed drone show by Rozzi’s Fireworks will cap off the evening. Enjoy 100 drones synced to music for a spectacular, one-of-a-kind experience!
