The city looks forward to welcoming residents and visitors to the Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration on Friday, (Dec. 5), beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Holiday cheer is alive and well in Battle Ground. The city was overwhelmed by the generous community partners who came together to literally brighten the festive atmosphere at the Battle Ground Event Center for the city’s upcoming Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration.
Luke Rogers, owner of Clean Choice Professional Services, has generously taken the lead as the primary sponsor for this effort, installing a beautiful light display on the Battle Ground Event Center building, trees, and light poles. Their work is sure to create a bright and welcoming setting, full of holiday cheer, from the Tree Lighting Event through the end of December.

This project was also made possible thanks to the contributions of several local businesses and individuals whose support reflects the spirit of community that makes Battle Ground so special.
Donors include Desiree Lorentz (Realtor – John L. Scott), LeAnn Dodge (State Farm Insurance Agent), Terry Hammack, Avilaco Drywall, Impact Automotive, and Dev’s Coffee Bar.

Their generosity directly supports the installation of additional lighting features, bringing the magic of the holiday season to life in Battle Ground.
“We are grateful for the commitment of these local partners who stepped forward to help make this year’s holiday celebrations brighter for everyone,” said Recreation and Event Center Manager Joanna Martin. “Their support helps create a warm, festive environment for the community to enjoy all season long.”
The city looks forward to welcoming residents and visitors to the Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration on Friday, (Dec. 5), beginning at 5:30 p.m. Additional details are available on the City’s website at www.cityofbg.org/Annual-Events.
