Christmas in Meridian Community Events

We are thrilled to see the return of the Christmas in Meridian Winter Lights Parade! The parade will float through old town Meridian to usher in the start of the holiday season. Santa will join us and bring his magic to light the city Christmas Tree that will shine throughout this festive season in Generations Plaza. See you on Friday, December 6, 2024 at 7:00 pm.

Come early to watch "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas' projected next to the mainstage at Idaho & Main streets. Grab dinner or a hot cocoa in the food court. Don't forget to download the downtown decorating contest map and vote for your favorite business.

The Meridian Chamber Downtown Committee is hosting Shop Meridian Downtown Night and the Downtown Decorating Contest. There are so many festive events and activities being planned.

Ornament Drop and Seek

The Meridian Arts Commission is once again putting a festive twist on their popular annual Meridian Art Drop by hosting the Meridian Ornament Drop & Seek.

All ages and artistic abilities are encouraged to make handmade holiday ornaments to hide (or "drop") in downtown Meridian December 5 & 6 for others to find and keep as a gift. Ornaments can be hung from trees, propped on windowsills, or placed in any number of creative locations for someone else to find.

Those lucky enough to find an ornament (only one per person, please) are encouraged to post a photo of it on social media using the hashtag #meridianornamentdrop, or email the Meridian Arts Commission at mac@meridiancity.org for the Arts Commission to post.
