Holidays at the Plaza

The 2nd annual Holidays at the Plaza, hosted by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and the City of Fremont, was held on December 5, 2025. The event brought the Fremont community together for a festive evening filled with food, fun, and holiday cheer. Families and friends enjoyed gourmet food trucks, seasonal treats, and a lively holiday market featuring local small business arts and craft owners – the perfect opportunity for last-minute gift shopping. The evening included a festive tree lighting ceremony, live music, and a special guest appearance from the Grinch!

We’re excited to bring the magic back for the 2026 Holidays at the Plaza in December, 2026 at the Downtown Event Center Plaza (date still to be finalized).

This year’s celebration will feature:

  • Festive eats and drinks for all ages
  • Gourmet food trucks
  • Winter-themed activities
  • Photo booth
  • Holiday market showcasing local artisans and small businesses
  • Seasonal sweets and treats to take home
  • Holiday tree lighting ceremony
  • Live music

>> Check back in the fall for date confirmation, vendor signups, and volunteer opportunities!

We hope to see you there!
