The annual Downtown Great Falls Christmas Stroll will be on Friday, December 5, 2025, from 5pm until 9pm.
The annual celebration features numerous attractions - arts and food vendors, music, and the Polar Plunge at 7 p.m. at Fourth Street and Central Avenue.
The Polar Plunge raises money for Special Olympics Montana by having participants raise donations in exchange for plunging into a freezing pool of water.
KRTV is fielding a team of brave plungers - click here if you would like to donate.
Visitors can buy a $5 Christmas Stroll button at numerous downtown businesses to enter for various prizes, including a downtown "staycation," which features a one-night stay at Hotel Arvon, brunch at the Sip ‘n Dip, lunch at Fire Pizza, dinner at Magpie, a gift card from The Newberry, a gift card from Broke Axe Throwing, and two tickets to the Great Falls Symphony.
