Town square lighting today, Small Business Saturday tomorrow
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — Countdown to the town square lighting begins today. The event, which includes the arrival of Santa by firetruck, is the official start of the Christmas season in Jackson Hole.
The day begins at 4:30pm with holiday music provided by the JH Community Band and the JH Chorale. Then Mayor Hailey Morton Levinson will start the countdown to lighting the square promptly at 5pm.
Santa will make his appearance around 5:05pm before he departs to visit other neighborhoods around the valley.
All during the day today, local shops and restaurants will be offering holiday treats and special deals for the valley’s version of Black Friday. Tomorrow, shoppers can participate in Small Business Saturday.
Looking for that special gift? Nothing says Jackson Hole more than something purchased in Jackson Hole. Additionally, bring any locally-purchased gift to the Stage Stop on Saturday, November 27, for free giftwrapping. Hot cider, macarons, and Christmas music will add to the festivities throughout the day.
Stage Stop will be open 10am–7pm for present drop-off. For drop-offs after 5pm, please anticipate picking up the following day—Sunday, November 28.
The lighting of the town square will be livestreamed to the world in case you have friends and family elsewhere that would like to watch.
