Parker plans to light its town tree at 6 p.m. Nov. 27 during a two-hour celebration at O’Brien Park. The town released its holiday schedule Nov. 10, with activities continuing through early January.
The opening evening runs from 5 to 7 p.m. and includes choir performances, a train, Santa visits, food vendors and ice carving. The town plans free s’mores for the first 1,000 visitors. Holiday scenes will also be set up at Schoolhouse Plaza, Discovery Park and O’Brien Park.
The Downtown Parker Holiday Market is scheduled for Dec. 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at O’Brien Park. Beginning Nov. 30, residents in the 80134 and 80138 ZIP codes can add decorated homes to an online map. That activity replaces the judged home-decorating contest, with no winners or award categories.
