2024 Holidays in the City

Celebrate the 2024 season with Downtown Boise’s Holidays in the City events and promotions - beginning the Friday after Thanksgiving and going through the end of December. The Holidays in the City campaign encompasses The Holiday Tree Lighting, Glide on Grove,  Shop Small Saturday, Winter Window Walk, City Santa, and December's First Thursday. 

We have planned a holiday season full of engaging, safe, and family-friendly activities that celebrate all that Downtown Boise has to offer. Bundle the family up and come downtown to see decorated window displays and vote for your favorites. Start or continue a tradition of pulling a tag off of the Holiday Tree to help support the WCA; or maybe browse local merchants to find a unique gift for that special someone. 

Read more about what’s happening below and make a plan to support Downtown Boise merchants and businesses. We can’t wait to see you!   

 

2024 SCHEDULE OF HOLIDAY EVENTS DOWNTOWN: 
 

2024 DOWNTOWN BOISE HOLIDAY TREE

Friday, November 29 through January 2nd; The Grove Plaza

A beautiful holiday tree will be placed in The Grove Plaza, it will be lit, and will be the City’s tree, as usual. However, we can’t in good faith have thousands of people gathered on The Grove Plaza on the Friday after Thanksgiving for a tree lighting ceremony this year. Instead, make a night of it in Downtown by stopping by to see the tree, pulling a gift tag in support of the WCA, and get in on Small Business Saturday and Winter Window Walk - both kicking off that night! Downtown Boise is the place to celebrate the 2024 holiday celebration!

Make Downtown a destination to see the magic of the season embodied in the window displays of your favorite merchants and businesses. Bundle up, grab a warm beverage, and enjoy the holiday decor as you make your way through the welcoming streets of Downtown Boise.
