Lakeside
Christmas Tree Lighting

5:30PM-7:30PM • Tree Lighting at 6:30PM with Santa arriving just before to start the Christmas Tree Lighting countdown!

Get ready to celebrate the magic of the season at Lakeside's 4th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting, a heartwarming, family-friendly event that brings the community together!

Our festivities include a dazzling lighted tree display organized by the Richter family, a cozy s'mores bar by the fire pits, cheerful live music by El Tico Y La Macha, and delicious treats from local drink and food trucks. Santa, Mrs. Claus, The Grinch, and their jolly crew of elves will be there to spread holiday cheer and those first holiday photo ops!

In the spirit of giving, enjoy free entry by sharing the joy and bringing a donation (or a few) for the West Shore Food Bank! They welcome non-expired, unopened non-perishable food and essential health or toiletry items to help our neighbors in need.

This year you can expect a great lineup of food, bev and family-friendly activities!

Food & Bev: Harbor Grille, Tamarack Brewing Company, Glacier Perks, Mavericks Roadhouse, Mother Chorizos, and The Frey Guys

Complimentary Activities & Tents: S'mores Bar by Camp Martini, Treasure State Coffee Co serving cider and coffee, hot cocoa by 24/7 Vintage & Thrift, Under 5 "Glow Tent" by Vacation Flathead, Color-Your-Own Ornament by Lakeside Development Community Foundation/Wendi Phelps Massage, Gem Jewelry Making by Flathead Lake Alpine Coaster, and a Warming Tent by Pure West Real Estate.
