Event Recap: Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony

🌟 A Night of Joy and Community: Holiday Event Recap

Our recent holiday event was a magnificent success, filled with festive cheer and community spirit! We were thrilled to welcome an estimated 300 people who gathered to celebrate the start of the holiday season, turning the area into a vibrant hub of warmth and light.

The air was alive with activity thanks to our fantastic Holiday Marketplace, featuring 24 unique vendors offering local goods and gifts, alongside 4 delicious food stands that kept everyone satisfied.

The entertainment was truly the heart of the night, featuring unforgettable performances:

  • The West Sylvan Middle School Choir, directed by Kaya Hellman, captivated the crowd with beautiful holiday songs.
  • DJ Jess the Ripper (@jesstheripper) kept the energy high with festive beats.
  • The wonderful Low Bar Chorale (@lowbarchorale), led by Ben Landsverk, brought everyone together in song.

A special note of appreciation goes to the Urban Art Network (@urbanartnetwork) for managing the diverse and high-quality marketplace.

Thank You to Our Generous Sponsors:

This event would not have been possible without the commitment of our dedicated sponsors:

  • Hoyt Street Yards Community Association
  • Pearl District Neighborhood Association
  • Pacificorp
  • Bill and Joan Truncali

From all of us, we wish you a wonderful and peaceful holiday season and a happy New Year!
