Grand Holiday

Description

Thank you, Glenwood Springs!

What an incredible turnout for this year’s complimentary community event in its new location under the Grand Avenue Bridge. Seeing families, friends, and neighbors come together in such a unique setting made the night truly special.

From Santa and the Grinch to carriage rides, tastings, live music, arts and craft vendors, and more, the energy and joy from the community reminded us exactly why we do this. Events like this don’t happen without an amazing village behind them.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors: Adam Decker State Farm, Bank of Colorado, Bighorn Toyota, Downtown Development Authority, The Fluffy Stuff, Guaranteed Rate, and Western Colorado Hearing Clinic. We are especially grateful to work with sponsors who don’t just write checks—but roll up their sleeves and contribute real sweat equity. That support makes all the difference.

Special thanks to Justin Bishop of Bluebird Café and the Glenwood Springs Police Department for helping elevate the experience, and to our incredible volunteers who showed up, stepped in, and kept everything running smoothly.

This was truly a group effort, and we couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who helped make the evening a success. Thank you for showing up, supporting one another, and making our community shine.
