We are gearing up for Hillsboro Holly Days Celebration!


Hillsboro Holly Days 2019 Mr & Mrs Claus + Tree
Kick off the holiday season at the annual Hillsboro Holly Days Celebration with the tree lighting, artisan fair, family village, and entertainment stage in Historic Downtown Hillsboro. Artisans showcase their best handmade work at this bustling market alongside carolers, live entertainment, and activities for all ages abound. Downtown merchants will also be open for business with a variety of in-shop activities and promotions. The Civic Center Plaza and the surrounding blocks will be full of holiday cheer and excitement leading up to the awe-inspiring tree lighting at 6:00 pm.

We found a beautiful tree for the  annual tree lighting! At the same time we have been curating an impressive lineup at the Cultural Arts District Stage that is within the plaza. They are going to keep you entertained from 2:00-7:00 pm. Thankfully you can enjoy the entertainment as you wander the artisan market. This year we have included a special 'Dessert Alley,' something to keep everyone's sweet tooth happy. 

Evergreen Christian Center is providing Downtown with a Kid Village setup on the Plaza. This will run from 2:00-6:00 pm. There will be several fun activities to keep the kids engaged. 

This event is the kickoff for the holiday season in Downtown Hillsboro.

After the November 19th Hillsboro Holly Days Celebration, Downtown businesses will celebrate annual Plaid Friday (November 25th) and Small Business Saturday (November 26th). Both events are geared toward enjoying what our Downtown has to offer for shopping, dining, and entertainment. 

As we get closer to those events their corresponding webpages will be used to highlight more details. 

This annual event is being coordinated by Hillsboro Downtown Partnership in partnership with Hillsboro Tuesday Night Market, the City of Hillsboro, and Evergreen Christian Center. 

Hillsboro Holly Days Celebration is held on November 19th, the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

The event runs from 2:00-7:00 pm

  • Tree Lighting will be held at 6:00 pm
  • Kids Village will be 2:00-6:00 pm
