The Holidays are Going to Be LIT in MoVal!

The holidays are right around the corner, and that means it's almost time for our Snow Day and Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony.

 

First, join us for Snow Day on Saturday, December 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. as the Civic Center Amphitheater transforms into a magical winter wonderland with real snow!

 

Tickets are $6 for residents and $8 for non-residents. Register now at moval.org/holidays. Once purchased, wristbands can be picked up at the Conference & Recreation Center at 14075 Frederick Street or at will-call on the day of the event. ASL interpretation will be provided.

 

Then, after the snow-filled fun, gather with us at 5:45 p.m. in front of City Hall for our annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony. Enjoy some live music and entertainment as we light up our spectacular 30-foot Holiday Tree. We will also be welcoming a very special guest all the way from the North Pole!

 

For more information, visit moval.org/parks.
