Downtown Truckee's long-running holiday kickoff, with kids decorating trees, Santa and the lighting of the Bud Fish Tree.
The Downtown Holiday Festival and Bud Fish Tree Lighting is Friday, November 20, 2026, in Historic Downtown Truckee and on the Train Depot Island.
Kids decorate the trees that line downtown through the holidays starting at 4:15pm. At 5pm the Bud Fish Tree is lit along with the rest of downtown, and Santa arrives. The Rotary Club of Truckee serves hot cocoa.
It has been a downtown Truckee tradition for more than 45 years.
