RiNo Art District turns its ArtPark into a three-day holiday gathering built around one running joke and one real ceremony: a traffic cone, the neighborhood's signature orange marker, stands in as the holiday tree and gets lit alongside a menorah on Friday evening.
The festival opens Friday, December 4, from 5 to 9 PM with artist-made light sculptures, projections, card printmaking and the tree and menorah lighting. Saturday and Sunday run 11 AM to 4 PM with a market of local makers, live music, hands-on maker labs including button-making, locally made gifts and waffles, plus a Santa fun run.
