Coon Rapids Main Street
Coon Rapids' annual holiday tradition began in 2008 as an evening filled with Christmas shopping and fellowship.  The event has grown to include several children's activities, a soup supper, concerts, a tree lighting ceremony, business open houses and much more. Above all, this community tradition gives families and friends an opportunity to join together to usher in the Christmas season with festive activities and shopping.
