City of Ketchum Logo with Holiday Tree Lighting Information

This year’s free tree lighting event takes place at Ketchum Town Square and includes treats, carolers, Santa, reindeer, and more.

Spread Holiday cheer with Santa and his reindeer for the annual Ketchum Holiday Tree Lighting on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at Ketchum Town Square (480 4th St. E.). The event starts at 4:30 p.m. and the tree lighting takes place at about 5:00 p.m. Festivities include free treats and hot chocolate (and hot toddies for purchase); Christmas carolers; real, live reindeer; a grand entrance by Santa; photo opportunities; firepits; and Holiday lighting (of course!).

Bring your family, friends, and Holiday spirit — the event is free! And don’t forget to bring your wish lists and letters for Santa. Mailboxes to the North Pole will be at Ketchum Town Square (on the stage) and City Hall (near the entrance). Santa will surely write you back — be sure to include a return address!
