The City Council of Molalla held a meeting on December 4, 2024, where they discussed upcoming community events. One of the highlights is the tree lighting ceremony scheduled for this Saturday. This year, the event will feature a night parade, marking the first time the city has organized such a parade. The parade will begin at 4 PM and will follow the fire department as they conduct a canned food drive.

The tree for the ceremony has been generously donated by a local tree farm and is described as beautiful.

In addition to the tree lighting, the council mentioned a community carol event planned for the following Saturday, December 14, in the park. This event will also include an arts fundraiser focused on creating signs and ornaments. Residents interested in participating in the fundraiser must register by Friday.

For those looking for more information or to register, details will be shared on the arts community Facebook page. The council encouraged residents to reach out if they have any questions.
