Consultation has concluded
One of Timnath's most treasured events has outgrown its location, causing verifiable risks to safety and accessibility. The Town is very aware of how much the community loves and appreciates this event, so we've asked for your input to help us figure out how we can develop an event that ensures we celebrate the holiday season safely and joyfully.
After four weeks of surveying in March and April 2024, where we sought your input on a fresh take on our holiday festivities, given the need to move beyond the previous venue due to safety and space concerns, a remarkable turnout of over 180 Timnath residents weighed in, with an impressive 69% favoring pivoting to a daytime holiday festival at Timnath Community Park.
