5-8:30 p.m. Fri., Dec. 2, Northglenn Recreation Center, 11801 Community Center Drive

Join Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves for an evening of fun when Santa comes to Northglenn to turn on the city’s holiday lights.

There will be an indoor fair from 5 to 8:30 p.m. with activities for children, refreshments and free pictures with Santa after he arrives. The Northglenn Community Foundation will sell slices of pizza as a fundraiser for the Utility Assistance Program. The lighting ceremony will begin at 6 p.m., with carolers and a spectacular light show.

Before the event, the Northglenn Senior Organization will sponsor its annual bake sale starting at 1 p.m. At 7 p.m., the Denver Municipal Band and the Northland Chorale will perform a holiday concert.

The event is sponsored by Bellco Credit Union, Northglenn-Thornton Sentinel, Northglenn Community Foundation, Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation, Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, ATA Karate for Kids and Rocky Mountain Cruizers.

The city will be collecting canned goods, new toys, and gently used clothing for those who need it in our community. Volunteers are also being sought for the event.
