The Conifer Christmas Parade returns on Saturday, December 5, and the whole community is invited to join in the fun. Whether you're marching, riding, or watching from the curb, this is the celebration that kicks off the holiday season in Conifer.

The parade steps off from West Jefferson Middle School at 1:45 PM, rolling through town and bringing holiday cheer to everyone along the route. From decorated company vehicles and festive floats to goats, horses, alpacas, and everything in between, the Conifer Christmas Parade is as creative and spirited as the community itself.

Deck the Corridor and Spread Some Holiday Magic!

The Festival of Trees is back, and this year it's bigger, brighter, and more community-connected than ever. Local businesses and organizations along the 285 corridor are invited to decorate a Christmas tree, put it on display, and become part of a community-wide holiday experience that brings neighbors, visitors, and shoppers together.

Here's how it works: you decorate a tree and display it either at your own location or at a participating host business. Your tree then becomes part of a community-wide silent auction, giving residents and visitors a reason to explore local businesses, admire the creativity on display, and bid on their favorite tree to take home. Every participating location will be featured on an interactive map, making it easy for the whole community to plan their own holiday tree tour along the corridor.

It's a beautiful way to showcase your business, welcome new visitors through your doors, and add a little extra sparkle to the season.

Important Dates:

November 12: Registration deadline
November 28: Trees must be decorated and on display; silent auction begins
December 11: Silent auction closes
December 12–13: Winning bidders pick up their trees
Ready to be part of the magic? Register your tree below and help make the 285 corridor shine this holiday season!

A little snow couldn’t stop the Halloween fun!

Thank you to Elk Creek Elementary School and West Jefferson Elementary School for bringing our community together through their Trunk or Treat events! The costumes, decorated trunks, and kids' enthusiasm made these celebrations special. We appreciate the school teams, families, and volunteers who put so much time into making them happen.

A special shout-out to two of our Chamber volunteers:

Stephaine Johnson, CFP®, CEPA®, a financial advisor with Edward Jones, who shared: “My favorite part of the afternoon was everyone that embraced the unexpected snowstorm.”

Steve Dennis of Homestead Exteriors, who attended his first-ever Trunk or Treat: “These kids went all out, and the school and volunteers put on a great event. It was crazy. The snow hardly slowed them down.”

Steve and Stephanie, thank you for giving your time, representing the Conifer Area Chamber of Commerce, and showing up for our community—even in the snow!

We loved joining the Halloween celebrations and sharing a preview of Christmas in Conifer. We’re excited for a holiday season full of local events, small-business support, and more opportunities to come together.
