Downtown Kalispell Holiday Stroll and Tree Lighting

Expand to see the parent tip

The Holiday Kickoff Weekend turns downtown Kalispell into a festive stroll on Friday night, with carols, local performers, shops open late and a chance for kids to meet Santa Claus.

The Community Tree Lighting Ceremony is at 7 pm, and on Saturday the fun continues with Kalispell Parks and Recreation programs at Depot Park, a Find the Yeti hunt in downtown shops, and holiday activities at the Glacier Art Museum and Kalispell Public Library.

Parent tip: Save Saturday for the Find the Yeti Challenge, since the hidden yetis are inside participating downtown businesses and make an easy scavenger hunt for kids.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
