City of Aurora issued the following announcement on Dec. 3.
The city of Aurora will celebrate the kickoff of the holidays virtually this year to safely spread the seasonal cheer and spirit of the city’s normally in-person celebratory event Holiday Tree Lighting with Aurora Holiday Sparkle at 6 p.m. Dec. 10.
With all the same joyful fun Holiday Tree Lighting has brought to the community, Aurora Holiday Sparkle will deliver a similar holiday cheer, virtually, streamed on Facebook and AuroraTV.org. The event will also be broadcast on cable channels 880 and 8 to Aurora subscribers.
The Holiday Sparkle event will include Santa and live reindeer, stories from Santa’s amusing holiday travels through the North Pole, dancing from the Aurora Dance Arts program and the magic of ice carvers creating masterpieces in front of your eyes.
The event will be topped off with the ceremonial switching on of the holiday tree lights of the Aurora Municipal Center by Mayor Mike Coffman.
This is a thoughtfully designed event that brings virtual fun to life right to your home for you and your family to enjoy. The event is virtual, but the fun is real.
