Where Pierce County Shines Bright
If twinkling lights are your love language, you’re in for a treat.

Small-Town Charm with Big Holiday Cheer

The Old Cannery Sumner Bridge Lighting in Sumner blends history, community, and holiday magic in one iconic event. Meanwhile, the Fife Tree Lighting and Lakewood’s Holiday Parade of Lights and Tree Lighting bring small-town spirit and festive fun to every age.

Family traditions come to life with Pierce County’s unbeatable lineup of holiday activities.

Pro tip: Don’t miss the Holiday Grinch 5k in Puyallup—running off those Christmas cookies has never been so fun.
