Crow River Christmas began in 2011 and elicits several types of involvement from the people in our community! We hope you plan to join us, tree lighting takes place the first Saturday in December each year.

Saturday, December 7th 2024

This event has expanded to include a variety of holiday activities, all leading up to the official tree lighting and a fireworks display at Riverside Park. There are many ways to participate—whether by joining us for the tree lighting, running in the Jolly Jingle 5K, taking photos with Santa, or sponsoring a tree for your business, a cheerful family greeting, or in honor of a loved one to be displayed in Riverside Park.

A Full Day of Festivities 

Over the years, this cherished event has blossomed into a holiday tradition, filled with festive activities that culminate at Riverside Park for the tree lighting and a spectacular fireworks display.

Sponsor a Christmas Tree

For over a decade we have been celebrating Crow River Christmas and each year the number of trees at the tree lighting has continued to grow!

By sponsoring a tree, you can honor or remember a loved one, celebrate a friend, or extend holiday cheer to the community. Businesses, churches, and families all come together for this special event, and the park transforms into a dazzling display of lights.

Two levels of pricing are available:
$80 Sponsorship: The Scouts handle everything for you, including setting up and taking down lights. In addition, they raise some funds through their efforts.
$65 Sponsorship: You are responsible for putting up and taking down your decorations.

Become a Christmas in the Park Sponsor

Your sponsorship helps keep food costs down so all families in the area can come enjoy the Christmas festivities as well as getting the event mailers in the mailboxes of those in our community!
