A Huge Thank You to Our Holiday Tree Sponsors

 Hillsboro’s downtown Holiday Tree has been generously donated this year by William Crawford, President of Hillsboro Artists’ Regional Theatre (HART). The tree is a stunning Douglas Fir grown on the Crawford Family Farms in the hills above Rainier, Oregon.

Special thanks to HWY Heavy Hauling for transporting this towering beauty to Downtown Hillsboro. The tree will make its way down Main Street on Friday, November 14, between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm, on its journey to its new holiday home at Civic Plaza.

Once it arrives, the tree will receive its full Holiday Glam Up, sponsored by the City of Hillsboro and decorated by the Hillsboro Downtown Partnership.

Thank you to our partners and sponsors for helping us bring holiday magic to Downtown Hillsboro!

Thank you to our sponsors! Partnering to bring you Holly Days!

Holly Days Entertainment



We are excited to welcome back live outdoor performances to this year’s Cultural Arts District Stage. A lineup of talented local musicians will share the warmth and goodwill of the season through a diverse lineup of live performance on the Plaza. The tree lighting (at 6:00 pm) will be followed by a sing-along led by Hillsboro’s own Oregon Chorale.

Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony

A sea of people gathered around a large, lit Christmas tree. White canopies in the background.

A tradition in the Civic Center Plaza, since it was built as our community living room almost two decades ago, a locally sourced evergreen will be lit up and decked out as our community’s holiday tree. The Mayor of the City of Hillsboro will be leading us in a countdown to switch on the lights, with a little help from Santa and friends.
