Fort Collins Welcomes the Holiday Season by Turning on Lights

It's a celebration to welcome the season and you are invited! There is nothing more magical than the lights strung all throughout Old Town Fort Collins. There is an official lighting ceremony in the Oak Street Plaza on Friday, November 6th starting at 5:30pm. The official celebration includes a choir and brass band, as well as, hot chocolate and then the flipping of the light switch.

Downtown Fort Collins shares:

Thousands of strands of holiday lights illuminate historic Downtown Fort Collins this season. The LED lights set the holiday spirit and also lead to power savings of about 90% over standard lights. The lights are twinkling in historic downtown from November 6, 2015  - Feburary 14, 2016 (approximately).

Trees are lit along Walnut Ave., Linden St., Pine St., Old Town Square, Oak Street Plaza, and Mountain Ave. The lighting project is a joint endeavor between the Downtown Fort Collins Business Association, The Downtown Development Authority and the City of Fort Collins.
