Small Town Christmas

The annual City of Silver Lake Small Town Christmas is returning, and this year’s celebration promises to be bigger, brighter, and more magical than ever. The community is invited to gather on Saturday, December 6 from 3 to 6 pm at the Silver Lake Community Center, located at 404 E. Lake Street, for an evening filled with holiday cheer and hometown tradition.

Santa Claus will be stopping by early in the event, and families are encouraged to bring their wish lists and cameras. Photos with Santa will be available from 3:00 to 4:45 pm. Visitors can also enjoy the charm of horse-drawn carriage rides, offered from 3:00 to 5:00 pm creating the perfect backdrop for a festive afternoon.

Throughout the event, children can take part in a variety of activities designed just for them. Free milk and cookies will be available to help keep the excitement going as families move from one attraction to the next.

The highlight of the evening will take place at 5:30 pm as the community gathers for the official lighting of the town Christmas tree. This cherished moment has become a signature part of Silver Lake’s holiday season.

As an added bonus, the first 300 people will receive a free Christmas mason jar mug. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to ensure they receive one before supplies run out. The City of Silver Lake Small Town Christmas is shaping up to be a joyful kickoff to the season, offering something special for all ages.

After Prom Update: How You Can Help Make Christmas at the Lake a Success

The Silver Lake After Prom Committee is hard at work preparing for Christmas at the Lake, and there are many ways the community can pitch in to make the day festive, fun, and memorable for everyone.

Here’s how you can help:

• Donate New or Gently Used Eagles Gear
The Eagle Shop will be open during the event, and we’re collecting any brand new items suitable for gifts or lightly used Silver Lake Eagles merchandise to resell and support After Prom.

• Donate Wrapping Supplies
Our gift-wrapping station needs:
wrapping paper, bows, ribbon, tape, and gift tags.
These items help keep the service running smoothly all day long.

• Donate Grinch Decorations
The Grinch-themed photo booth is sure to be a fan favorite. If you have Grinch décor—big or small—we’d love to use it to make the space pop.

• Donate Raffle Basket Items
We are assembling a variety of raffle baskets and welcome contributions of new items, gift certificates, and themed gifts.

• Donate Decorated Christmas Trees
The Christmas Tree Farm Silent Auction. Decorated trees of any style or theme are needed and help raise funds for After Prom.

Volunteers are essential to get this event off the ground. Even an hour makes a huge difference.
