Help Brighten the Holidays

Question, how many Tacomans does it take to change hundreds of light bulbs? Just one, but it would take years! Every holiday season Tacoma is lit up with lights and shooting stars but over the years and the rain, the lights are shining  less and less. Which is why Spaceworks and the BIA are asking for your help to brighten the holidays with a Bulb Party!

BIA and Spaceworks will have all of the supplies necessary for a fantastic bulb party including refreshments and goodies, all we are missing is you! Many hands will turn this dark and dull task into a light and merry one, so come join us, and bring your friends!

The Bulb Party will be hosted November 10th and there are three times to choose from! We will be hosting shifts from 7:00-9:00 am, 11:00-1:00 pm, and 5:00-8:00 pm.  The Bulb Party will be at the downtown Post Office Building on the main floor. 

This event is a collaboration between the Downtown Merchants Group, Spaceworks, the Business Improvement Association, Post Hall, and you!

If you’re looking for something fun this holiday season in the downtown Tacoma area the Festival of Trees is the celebration to attend!

During the first week of December the Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital hosts the Festival of Trees for the families of Western Washington. This festival displays 60 artfully decorated trees that will later be auctioned to benefit the children and families in need.

Each tree is lavishly decorated to match individual themes along with presents, trips, and gifts. Some of the themes include the Seattle Seahawks tree, Lego tree, and a whimsical Dr. Sues tree. This event will be fun for the whole family and benefits a great cause.

The Festival of Trees will be held at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center, 1500 Broadway in Tacoma. The trees will be displayed for the public on Saturday, December 6 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, December 7.

Tickets are $6. Student’s ages 12 to 18 get in for $2, and children 12 and under are free. Click the link for more information here.
