Herriman previews Night of Lights, Tour de Cheer and seasonal attractions

Hosts of the Herrimanology podcast on Thursday reviewed the city’s upcoming holiday calendar and urged residents to register for several free community events.

The episode’s hosts said Night of Lights will be held the Monday after Thanksgiving at City Hall/Crane Plaza, with Santa arriving at 6 p.m. and a drone show scheduled for 7 p.m., weather permitting. The hosts said the city will open an ice ribbon for public skating and that registration is required for time slots.

“Night of lights is the Monday after Thanksgiving,” Host (S3) said, and the program will include visits with Santa, a drone show, ice sculpting, school choir performances and a gingerbread house contest presented by Hercules First Federal Credit Union. The hosts noted the event is intended to welcome the holiday season and accommodate families.

The Tour de Cheer light display contest is open to businesses and residents; S3 said 14 businesses and two households had already registered and encouraged residents to enter at herriman.gov/tourdecheer. The hosts said the city plans to publish a map so visitors can follow participating displays.

The podcast encouraged residents to register early for ice-skating slots and other activities; Host (S3) said the ice ribbon typically remains open into mid-to-late February, weather permitting, and suggested Thursday nights are usually less crowded.

The episode closed with reminders about other seasonal programming — including senior social events — and an invitation to check the city website for full schedules and registration details.
