Douglas Winter Programs

Celebrate winter with us! We decorate and light a tree every year and host a Winter Skate with Santa at the Treadwell Ice Arena during the winter holidays.

Tree Lighting

An official community tree-lighting ceremony is held each year in November at the Douglas Community Methodist Church, 1106 Third St., Douglas. This event is planned for Friday, November 27, 2009 at 5:30 pm. This year, our program begins with a tuba concert, followed by the traditional ceremony with caroling at 6:00 pm. We ask everyone to bring a flashlight and leave dogs at home. Caroling, refreshments, ceremony, and live music accompany the tree-lighting. Download the 2009 Winter Program (.pdf)
