Downtown Holiday Festival & Bud Fish Tree Lighting

On a Friday evening in late November, come together with the rest of the community in Downtown Truckee to light the giant Christmas tree. The evening festivities at this annual event commence with elementary schoolchildren decorating the Christmas trees lining Donner Pass Road. Santa Claus then arrives to oversee the lighting of the tree in the Train Depot Courtyard and invites children to discuss Christmas wishes. While enjoying the events, sip hot chocolate and munch cookies.
