Christmas Tree Lighting and Holiday Bazaar

Annual Christmas Tree Lighting


4:00 p.m. — Holiday Bazaar opens 
5:00 p.m. — Tree Lighting ceremony and other festivities begin 

GMercyU’s 2024 Tree Lighting & Holiday Bazaar is the ultimate way to ring in the holiday season, featuring special performances, holiday-themed games and attractions, a photo booth, the lighting of our official GMercyU Christmas tree — and a special appearance by our beloved mascot, M.E.R.V., who will give out the first gift of Christmas! 

This cherished GMercyU tradition is free and open to students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, family, friends, and community members! Dress warmly! We'll have hot cocoa on hand to keep you toasty but no fire pits due to the current MontCo. burn ban.
