The 3rd Annual ‘Old Fashion Christmas’ event is scheduled for Saturday, December 16 from 5–7pm along the Riverwalk in downtown Pagosa Springs. This event welcomes musicians, non-profits, businesses, and other community members to participate in this unique event. This annual event has fast become a true holiday community event highlighting our spirit and beautiful surroundings.
Participating groups must sign up by tomorrow, Wednesday, November 29.
Groups will “adopt” a section of the Riverwalk route; each group will be responsible for decorating its section with low-impact décor and illumination, and non-amplified sound or music. Groups are not allowed to sell items, nor use their booth for fund-raising purposes.
Entry forms to participate in this event are due by Wednesday, November 29… and you can contact Jennie Green, Tourism director at sales@visitpagosasprings.com with questions.
The public will enjoy over 20 Christmas-themed displays and activities, a hot air balloon glow, live music, free hot chocolate and cider, games, toys and other goodies. And, of course, Santa Claus! Santa will arrive by horse-drawn sleigh at his workshop at the Visitor Center shortly after 5pm, with opportunities to view his arrival along San Juan Street and Hot Springs Blvd bridge.
Attendees are encouraged to bring flashlights. The event will be held regardless of weather. This event is a collaboration of the Town of Pagosa Springs and The Pagosa Springs SUN.
Please join us for a fun and festive evening in downtown Pagosa Springs to celebrate the spirit of the holiday season.
