Presented by Boise Cascade

Friday, November 28, 2025

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

The Grove Plaza

Kick off the holiday season in Downtown Boise with the annual lighting of the Downtown Boise Holiday Tree! Adorned with more than 5,000 lights and a custom-made tree topper, the 45-foot tree is Boise Cascade’s gift to our downtown and lights up the Grove Plaza throughout the season.

Join your neighbors at this free all-ages event complete with a candle lighting ceremony, live holiday music by local band Payette, special guests, and the official countdown and lighting of the Holiday Tree!

This event also marks the official launch of the Giving Tree Program! Learn more by visiting the Giving Tree page and by visiting our friends from the Women’s and Children’s Alliance at the Holiday Tree Lighting Event.

The Holiday Tree Lighting event is made possible by our amazing volunteer teams who hand out candles, monitor for fire safety, and share event information with guests. Thank you, volunteers!
