Light up Jesse James Park this Christmas

It’s time to light up Jesse James Park for Christmas. Individuals, families, businesses, and other groups are encouraged to decorate a tree in the park for Christmas.

The City of Kearney will have electricity available along the trail for people to decorate trees. People and organizations are responsible for lights, extension cords, decorations, and creativity.

There is no reservation system for the event. People may pick out their tree and begin decorating it after Thanksgiving. The city would like the people or organizations to put a sign near the tree so viewers will know who decorated it. The city will turn on the electricity after Thanksgiving.

Tree decorators are asked to take down decorations promptly after January 1st. Decorations left up after January 12 will be discarded.
