Holidays on Higgins will take place from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. with burn barrels, carolers, and festive drink specials courtesy of the Rhinoceros Bar.
Stationary floats and tents will line Higgins Avenue from Broadway to the XXXX’s.
Additionally, the Missoula Makers Collective Market, boasting over 30 vendors, will be offering a diverse array of holiday goods.
Just before Santa embarks on his journey back to the North Pole, he’ll join carolers and festival attendees at 6 p.m. for the magical Tree Lighting Ceremony.
