Families can warm up in the Warren Station ballroom with hot chocolates, apple ciders, & toddy, handmade cocktails, wine, and beer specials making for a perfect, all-ages affair to prelude the Lighting of River Run Village.
 
Outside in the events plaza, the kids can see Santa, drop their letters into the North Pole mailbox, and grab themselves a complimentary cup of hot chocolate and fresh-baked cookie, while supplies last. Don’t forget to have the kiddos stop by the Salida Circus tent to try their hand at some circus tricks!
 
Join us outside in the village for an hour of caroling from the Summit Choral Society from 4:15 pm-5:15 pm, concluding with The Lighting of the River Run Tree at 5:15 pm. Bring out the whole family as we light up the village to kick off the holiday season at Keystone!
