The holidays are a busy time of year all across the world, and Longmont is no exception. If you live in the area, there are many things to do and see once you’re done decking the halls and walking through the obligatory winter wonderland. Clear your calendar and consider heading to one of the following:
Small Biz Holiday Market
Forget Black Friday; Small Business Saturday allows you to avoid the likes of Amazon, Target, and Walmart and shop locally, instead. The Small Biz Holiday Market takes place on Saturday and Sunday the weekend after Thanksgiving at the Firehouse Art Center. It’s the perfect place to buy personal gifts and handmade crafts for loved ones or yourself!
Boulder County Farmers Winter Market
Farmer’s markets aren’t just for summertime! The Boulder County Farmers Winter Market allows you to merge snow with snow peas; it offers produce and artisanal goods from 150 local farmers, ranchers, and food producers. Stop by the Boulder County Fairgrounds on December 2nd or 3rd to stock up on sustenance for your family gatherings and revel in some holiday cheer.
The Longmont Symphony
The Longmont Symphony showcases Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker on December 2nd and December 3rd at the Vance Brand Civic Auditorium. The quintessential holiday ballet, The Nutcracker mixes storytelling with imagination and classical music. If you have a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit, this will help.
The Momedy Club: Escape from the Holidays
The Momedy Club: Escape from the Holidays gives mothers (and everyone else) a chance to free themselves from cooking, cleaning, in-laws, and children hyped up on candy canes. This comedy show, which takes place on December 8th and 9th, features a mix of performers and artists who hope to give you the gifts of laughter and enjoyment.
Longmont Lights
Longmont Lights is a wonderful option for those who love the Parade of Lights but would rather not venture into Downtown Denver. Taking place on December 8th and 9th, this event proves that staying local is just as luminous. Enjoy a walk around the park or hit the skating rink and do a triple axel. Santa Claus will be impressed!
While you’re making a to-do list and checking it twice, keep all the holiday events in Longmont in mind. Take part in one of the above to celebrate the season without leaving town.
