Celebrate the holidays with the third annual Season of the Star event series in Castle Rock

Campfires and S’mores, sleigh rides and hot chocolate. These are a few of our favorite things, according to the song, during the holiday season. And you will find them all during the Season of the Star, which kicks off the week after the annual Starlighting celebration and runs through Christmas Eve.

Now in its third year, the Season of the Star is an iconic community series of events that celebrate the spirit of the season, brings Town residents together Downtown and at Philip S. Miller Park, and offers up some good old-fashioned family fun.

Join friends, family and neighbors as the Town, the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Alliance help the community get into the holiday vibe.
