Splitrock Park will be lit up for the holidays! Enjoy beautiful lighting and the creativity of our local individuals, small groups, and businesses. Opening night will be Thursday, November 28, then every Friday and Saturday evening from 5:00 to 10:00 pm. until December 28.
Grow Garretson and the Garretson Parks Advisory Committee have teamed up to light up Splitrock Park, and each person or team claimed a campsite or specific area of Splitrock Park and decorated it as much as they liked.
Splitrock Park's Light the Park event will be held November 28, 29. 30; and the following dates on Friday and Saturday evenings only: December 6, 7; 13, 14; 20, 21; 27, 28. Special event dates will be on November 28 (Opening Night) and December 14 (Hometown Christmas).
For Hometown Christmas, everyone is invited to enjoy the day-long events to be held around Garretson, including Holiday Shopping, Arts & Crafts with Santa, and a Parade of Lights at 5:30 p.m. downtown. A full events list will be found at VisitGarretson.com and mailed to in-town residents by December 10.
For the Hometown Christmas event, Light the Park will be hosting Santa Claus! From 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Santa will be visiting the Visitor's Center at the Bathhouse and handing out treats and taking children’s requests.
Since this event is likely to bring several out of town visitors, Grow Garretson is recommending that the everyone show off our small town’s holiday spirit by going all out with decorating places of residence, and it will be enjoyed throughout the holiday month.
All proceeds from this event will go towards the new picnic shelter that will be built by the playground at Splitrock Park. Freewill donations will be accepted throughout the month, anyone who would like to donate can also visit GrowGarretson.com/light-the-park-2019.
