There are many reasons to be thankful this November. We’d like to start this month’s blog off by saying that we are very grateful for our Veterans and are honored to offer 50% off all lodging to our Veterans for the month of November in recognition of Veteran’s Day!
Thanksgiving is fast approaching, but there’s still time to make your plans to visit Grand Lake. We have several exciting events happening the weekend following Thanksgiving!
Friday, November 23rd is Grand Lake’s Festival of Lights Ceremony and the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, starting at 5pm on Grand Avenue. Come and join the family fun as we sing carols and enjoy cookies, hot cocoa and a visit from Santa. Bring a decoration for the Town Christmas Tree and share the holiday cheer! Participating businesses will be lighting their window displays and keeping them lit until January 5th, 2019. Take in the creative holiday spirit while strolling our historic boardwalks in our winter wonderland setting.
