Twenty Fourth Candlelight Walk Scheduled

The 2007 Candlelight Walk and Tree Lighting will be held Friday, November 23 in historic downtown Littleton. The 24th edition of this Littleton tradition will feature a magical evening of holiday festivities, culminating in the illumination of the trees on Main Street. Santa Claus and his sleigh will come down Main Street followed by thousands of carolers holding candles and flashlights. Enjoy merchant open houses and bring your camera for a photo with Santa at Town Hall Arts Center, or with his reindeer at Bradford Auto Body, Inc. at 2659 West Main Street. The reindeer are generously sponsored by Bradford Auto Body, Inc. and Western Welcome Week, Inc.

Gather at Town Hall Arts Center, Bega Park, or Bradford Auto Body for free hot cider and music from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Candles will be available for 50 cents. Donations of non‑perishable food for Inter-Faith Community Services will be accepted, as will toys for the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop. The Littleton Chorale, Arapahoe Brass, Colorado Fire Tribe and Mission Hills Church Choir will provide entertainment at various Main Street locations while waiting for Santa’s arrival.

Main Street will close to traffic shortly after 5 p.m. Santa will begin his march down the street from the court house at 6:30 p.m. The event culminates at the west end of Main Street where one lucky child's name will be drawn to help Santa throw the switch on the huge live trees. Free parking is available at Arapahoe Community College. For more information, call 303-795-3863.
