Full slate of events to kick off December

As December approaches, the calendar of holiday events is quickly filling up. So, it’s time to mark yours with a wide variety of festivities.

“Special events in Boulder City are just that, special,” said Boulder City Chamber of Commerce CEO Jill Rowland Lagan. “It seems during the holidays, our little city amps up the spirit and community pride. Remembering what really matters to each of us is the focus, and hanging out with our family, friends, businesses, and neighbors seems to warm our hearts.”

While this does not include every event, here are some of the more notable ones from Dec. 1-14: Dec. 3: Boulder City High School and Garrett Junior High winter concert at BCHS. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Dec. 5: Luminaria beginning at 6 p.m. at the Boulder City Recreation Center at 900 Arizona St.

“During the season, we also tend to have a little more purpose for stopping by our local shops and restaurants and giving those business owners a minute of your time checking out the many great offerings right here in our awesome holiday town,” Lagan said.

If your organization or group is hosting a community event for the holidays, you are encouraged to send information in paragraph form to Editor Ron Eland at reland@bouldercityreview.com at least a week prior to the event to be placed on the Community page.

A rad evening in downtown Boulder City

Saturday night, a large crowd donned their best 1980s attire, which included an abundance of neon-colored clothing as part of the aptly-named Neon Nights. The block party was hosted by Main Street Boulder City and served as a make-up event for their planned New Year’s Eve celebration, which was canceled due to impending weather. Attendees filled the restautants and bars along the steet, while listening to 80s music played by DJ Mike Pacini.
