It’s going to be tree time throughout December at the northwest corner of the Trailhead Golf Course parking lot.

Area residents are invited to the inaugural “Light Up Liberty Lake” tree lighting ceremony that will start at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 1, at the Trailhead parking site. The ceremony is being coordinated by the recently formed Liberty Lake Better Together organization, in partnership with the City of Liberty Lake, the Liberty Lake Centennial Rotary Club, and the E. Mission Avenue office of State Farm Insurance. 

This will be the public’s first opportunity to see the illumination of a 14-foot artificial tree that will add some seasonal colors throughout the month at the intersection of E. Country Vista Drive and N. Liberty Lake Road.

Opening remarks from Mayor Cris Kaminskas during the Dec. 1 lighting ceremony will include a special announcement about the Liberty Lake Better Together foundation. The Ridgeline High School marching band, dance team, and cheerleaders will also be on hand to help boost the evening’s festivities. Attendees will also be able to enjoy cookies and cocoa provided by Safeway.

The Dec. 1 tree lighting activities are expected to last about an hour.  

“The Trailhead location is a very visible location for our community,” said Marla Larson, founder of Liberty Lake Better Together. “I think people will really like this, and that it will bring our community together. I really hope this will grow and continue every year.”
