A aerial view of the Pearl Street Mall and Boulder County Courthouse with holiday lights

Help us kick off the holiday season as we flip the switch that illuminates lights along the Pearl Street Mall, Civic Area and around the Boulder County Courthouse during Switch on the Holidays!

Performances kick off with the local dance group Kidz in Locomotion, part of ASPIRE: Aerial, Dance & Movement. Next, Boulder Ballet will be performing classic excerpts from the Nutcracker. The programming wraps up with holiday favorites sung by the Boulder Chorale children and adult choirs with special appearances from our friends from the North Pole, downtown's Freezie the Snowman, Mrs. Claus and Santa himself!

Program starts at 5 pm and concludes with the flip of the switch (performed this year by special guest CU's Biggest Fan, Miss Peggy Coppom) at approximately 5:20 pm. Visits with Santa at the Downtown Boulder Visitor Information Center until 7 pm.
