Arvada starts its holiday season with a horn line, not a flipped switch alone: the brass band Guerrilla Fanfare marches through Olde Town before anyone touches the tree.
The march starts at 5 PM near Eli Ashby / Carly's Boutique and works through the streets of Olde Town. Mayor Lauren Simpson lights the tree in Olde Town Square at 6 PM, and live music runs 5:30 to 7 PM alongside skating in the square and the holiday pop-up market.
