Holiday Kick-off

Join the Cordova Chamber of Commerce on Main Street in front of the Cordova Center or via live stream from home to share some holiday cheer while singing carols and watching Santa light the Big Tree Lighting at Cordova’s Hometown Holiday Kick-off. With all-new upgraded lights sponsored by Ace Hardware and the hard work of Cordova Electric Cooperative hanging the lights, our tree will shine like never before!

After the tree lighting, head into the Cordova Center for the Annual Holiday Bazaar to find great handcrafts and local vendors who have just the right thing for your Christmas shopping list. Then, stroll around our local retailers to enjoy Moonlight Madness late-night shopping that night and every Friday night in December leading up to Christmas.

Thank you to all our 2020 event sponsors!

2 – Lamp Post should be decorated by December 4th to be eligible for the contest.

3 – The public will vote for their favorites. Voting form is available here: Vote For Your Favorite Lamp Post – Google Forms

Everyone is eligible to vote for their favorite lamp post in several categories, so load up the car or take a stroll down Main Street to enjoy the decorations. Then click the button to cast your votes! Not able to leave home to see the lights in person? No problem. We’ll include photos of each lamp post on the online voting form.

Moonlight Madness

The merchants of Cordova get a bit of “Moonlight Madness” this time of year and keep late hours on the Friday nights before Christmas to give Cordovans extra chances to find that perfect gift. This year we have Cordova Cash so you can be sure to Shop Cordova First this holiday season and do your shopping with your local merchants who support your community! Join in the holiday shopping fun every Friday evening in December from 6-9pm, unless otherwise noted.
