Event Description
Kick off the holidays in downtown Durango with Singing with Santa at Buckley Park on Friday, November 28. Families can enjoy carols, cookies, hot chocolate, and a magical countdown to the community tree lighting with Santa himself. After the tree glows, little ones can snap photos with Santa and keep the fun going with the Reindeer Scavenger Hunt downtown. Pick up a clue card at the Durango Welcome Center and see if you can find all of Santa’s missing reindeer for a festive surprise!
A Durango Christmas Tradition
Join us as we light our community Christmas Tree in Buckley Park. Santa will be there to help us count down to the lighting of the tree and sing Christmas Carols. We will have hot chocolate and cookies for all to enjoy while supplies last. After we light the Community Christmas Tree, Santa will be available for photos.
Singing with Santa has been in Downtown Durango for decades and is an annual holiday tradition. Bring the whole family together for the most wonderful time of the year!
