Description
Light Up the Cairns & Holiday Shop & Stroll
Kick off the holiday season with Sandy City by celebrating the switching on of the holiday lights at City Hall! Arrive early to join Santa and Mayor Zoltanski as they turn on the lights to welcome the upcoming holiday season with Sandy City.
Dress warm, stroll among the holiday vendors with family and friends, and enjoy live music entertainment including Hale Centre's choir, "The Broadway Stars" and Canyon School District choirs.We will also have free hot chocolate, free photos with Santa, an Elf Scavenger hunt, food trucks, and more!
We’re excited to share that Sandy City is partnering with One Kind Act A Day to spread some extra cheer this season and throughout the coming year. As part of this collaboration, we invite you to design a Christmas tree ornament and add it to the One Kind Act A Day Kindness tree. One Kind Act A Day, the Sandy City way!
We'll be wrapping up our Community Drive that night, so please bring food bank donations and gently-used/new coats for residents in need!
