Celebrate the Holidays in Danville: Tree Lighting and Danville Small Town Christmas
The holiday season is just around the corner and Downtown Danville is ready to kick off the festivities with two family-friendly events you won’t want to miss!
Downtown Danville Tree Lighting – Thursday, November 28
After finishing your Black Friday shopping, head to Weisiger Park for an evening full of holiday cheer. The fun begins at 5:00 p.m. with storytime from Plaid Elephant Books, followed by crafts, cookies, and hot chocolate with the Art Center of the Bluegrass. At 6:15 p.m., enjoy a performance by the Danville Children’s Choir before the tree lighting at 6:30 p.m..
While you’re enjoying the festivities, The Salvation Army of Danville will be hosting a toy drive. Bring new, unwrapped toys between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to help make the season brighter for children in our community.
The celebration doesn’t stop there! After the tree lighting, head over to West T. Hill Community Theatre for a screening of the holiday favorite “Love Actually.”
Danville’s Small Town Christmas – Friday, December 6
The beloved Danville Small Town Christmas festival is back! The festivities kick off at noon at Weisiger Park and along Main Street, with activities running through 5:00 p.m., culminating in the parade at 6:30 p.m.
Background: The festival was founded by Lahannah Bonagofski, who saw a need for a free, family-friendly holiday event in the community. Today, the organization is welcoming volunteers, sponsors, and participants for the parade, vendors, and community organizations. Applications are now open, and you can find all the details here.
Mark your calendars and join us in Danville for holiday traditions, festive fun, and a true sense of community spirit!
