The most wonderful time of the year is almost here, and Commerce City is ready to light up the night! Gather your family, bundle up, and join us for our annual Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration on Wednesday, Dec. 3, from 5 to 7:30 p.m., where the Civic Center (7887 E. 60th Ave.) transforms for an unforgettable evening.

This year’s celebration is brimming with holiday cheer and new surprises for all ages. From seeing Santa and writing letters to the North Pole, to live reindeer, horse-drawn carriage rides, and the inaugural night of the brand-new Winter Wonderland Ice Rink, there’s something special around every corner.

Enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, make festive arts and crafts, and stop by for face painting or a caricature drawing to remember the night. As joyful tunes from live musicians fill the air, stroll through twinkling lights, take in the sights, and don’t forget to grab your raffle ticket for a chance to win a Christmas tree!

Of course, the highlight of the evening is watching the city’s grand holiday tree come to life, shining bright and spreading warmth across our community. Bring your loved ones, share a laugh, and kick off the holiday season in true Commerce City style. Learn more at c3gov.com/TreeLighting.
