Boulder City’s holiday season is full of opportunities to celebrate and spend time with family and loved ones. To help guide residents and visitors with what is available, the Boulder City Review has compiled a list of some of the events scheduled in town.
Boulder City may lack the cold, snowy atmosphere of the North Pole, but it has its very own Santa who devotes his life to making Christmas spectacular for those around him.
Boulder City’s longtime Christmas tradition, Santa’s Electric Night Parade, is back for another year and will be held on Dec. 1.
Kristy Lee Gildner was one of two people to take home the top prize in this year’s Boulder City Review Christmas Cookie Contest.
Emergency Aid of Boulder City is holding its annual Angel Tree project and needs residents to help out by donating Christmas presents to kids and seniors in need.
Along with caroling, cookies and cocoa, viewing Christmas light displays is a favorite holiday tradition for many.
In honor of Thanksgiving, the Boulder City Review talked with some of the senior students at Boulder City High School and some community leaders to find out what they are thankful for this year.

With Small Business Saturday, a movement created to promote neighborhood small businesses, coming up Nov. 24, I’m reminded of the number of times I’ve run into our local True Value and Ace Hardware on a DIY mission and left feeling so grateful that I have these convenient and reliable retailers right in the ’hood.
When members of Boulder City High School’s class of 1978 gathered for their 40th reunion they collected donations to help the community.
