Holly Days: An Old-Fashioned Holiday Festival in Downtown North Bend

The North Bend Downtown Foundation (NBDF) invites you to join in on a heartwarming outdoor holiday festival and tree-lighting ceremony on Saturday, December 3.

The City of North Bend and the North Bend Downtown Foundation thank Christmas Creek Tree Farm for donating a beautiful 2022 Community Tree and Tanner Electric Cooperative for installing lights on the tree. 

Enjoy singing and performances by community groups, including IGNITE Dance and Yoga, Twin Falls Middle School Jazz Band, Veils of the Nile, and Valley Center Stage. North Bend City Councilmember Mary Miller will emcee the joy and cheer of this heart-warming celebration.

Non-profit organizations will be offering crafts and activities for kids, plus the popular S’mores Station is back, sponsored by QFC,  the City of North Bend and the North Bend Downtown Foundation. Toasty wood fire pits will be located throughout the street to cook your delicious S’mores and take the chill off on a brisk December night!

Visitors can shop and dine with our downtown businesses while keeping an eye out for Santa, who will be welcoming free photo ops, thanks to Simpson Group Real Estate. Enjoy an early start to Holly Days with a free feature of ELF at the North Bend Theatre, starting at 3:00 p.m.
