Traditional Holiday and Tree Lighting Celebration
Saturday, December 3, 2022
Experience the spirit of the holiday season. Festivities
begin at the City Centre Mayor’s Tree with caroling and
a tree lighting ceremony. Sing carols as you stroll down
Bicentennial Trail behind a horse-drawn wagon with Santa
and Mrs. Claus to Celery Flats. Children can share their
Christmas wishes with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Stuart Manor
or mail their letters to Santa inside the Schoolhouse. Watch
ice sculpture demonstrations and enjoy local musical talent
performing traditional holiday favorites. Complimentary
desserts will be available in the Grain Elevator and the Portage Community Center will offer
seasonal beverages. Bring non-perishable food and clothing donations to benefit the Portage
Community Center. Parking is available at the Celery Flats Historical Area, the Zhang Portage
Community Senior Center, the Portage Parks & Recreation building, and Portage City Hall.
