Update on Stillwater Lights

Hello All!

In partnership with the City of Stillwater, local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, Main Street/IBA, Discover Stillwater/CVB, and most importantly our community members, we are in the process of year two of Stillwater Lights Brought to you by Hotel Crosby!

With the park at higher water we needed to flex the plan and have since met with the City to move the growing light display up by pedestrian plaza, lights in the park, and across the trail. We are very excited to have this collaborative relationship with our partners to work together for the greater good of a wonderful Stillwater experience for residents and visitors. We plan to continue this work to grow and expand Stillwater Lights in the future. The goal is to make Stillwater a Winter Wonderland from Thanksgiving to the New Year and keep the spirit going through first quarter.

Don’t forget about the Twinkle Parade (an event hosted by Main Street/IBA) and the lighting of the tree brought to you by Stillwater City Council Members, December 7^th!
