The 2026 holiday season at UTC is set to shine brighter than ever. Local schools, clubs, businesses, and community organizations are invited to join the festivities and help spread holiday cheer.
Celebrate the Holidays at UTC and be part of festive experiences that bring the season to life.
UTC officially kicks off the holiday season on Saturday, November 14 with a grand parade featuring giant balloons, fantastical floats, marching bands, dazzling fireworks and more. Step into the spotlight with festive floats, creative costumes, and choreography for a chance to win your share of $75,000 in prizes.
Spread holiday cheer with a custom greeting card designed by your class, school group or community organization. Cards will be displayed throughout the season for guests to admire and vote on, with the top three designs in each category winning prizes.
Deck the halls with a one-of-a-kind holiday tree on display at UTC. Showcase your creativity, shine a spotlight on your organization, and raise funds by participating in this festive display and silent auction. Top three trees with the most votes win prizes.
Cue the music! Take center stage at UTC this season with a live musical or dance performance — outdoors under the holiday lights at The Green or inside The Mall at UTC in Macy’s Court — and help fill the air with the sounds of the season.
