Three Festive Weekends
Enchanted Evening

Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, the community of Niwot officially ushers in the holiday season with Enchanted Evening. We will light the community tree, welcome Santa to town, sing holiday carols, and enjoy the evening with our local stores and vendors ready to kick off the gift-giving in spades. Santa arrives in a horse-drawn sleigh at 6pm. There will be live music throughout Old Town & Cottonwood Square. See you there!
