Tree Lighting
Gresham's kick-off to the holiday season, the Spirit of Christmas will feature a free program full of family-friendly fun, including performances by local musicians, hot cocoa and treats. Santa Claus will be at the event and Mayor Shane Bemis will lead the lighting of the 60-foot Ponderosa pine tree. The program gets underway at 5PM, with the tree-lighting at 6PM.
Donations
The City's Youth Advisory Committee will also be collecting donations of new and gently-used blankets, coats, and socks for SnowCap Community Charities, which provides food, clothing, advocacy and other services to local needy families. Please bring your items for donation on the 29th.
Downtown Gresham will also be hosting a full day of other holiday activities. (Schedule below this break)
