Tree lighting

Mark your calendars for Saturday, Dec. 6. That’s the date for the “Riverhead Holiday Extravaganza”: the Santa parade, tree lighting and holiday bonfire, all held downtown. 

A crowd filled Riverhead's new town square Sunday evening to celebrate the holiday season and enjoy the inaugural lighting of the Colorado blue spruce Christmas tree bedecked with festive decorations and a thousand colorful lights, standing tall near the center of the square.

More than a hundred people turned out for the Jamesport Fire Department’s annual tree-lighting ceremony and Santa visit last night at the George Young Community Center.
