About the event

The Downtown Joplin Alliance will be decorating Spiva Park for the holiday season. We will be wrapping tree trunks, bushes etc with strands of twinkle lights, as well as putting up a festive holiday tree & other decor. We'd love for you to join us in getting downtown dressed up in holiday style. Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thanks to Allo Fiber for sponsoring our 2025 Downtown Holiday Season!

About the application

Want to see downtown sparkle? Come join us as we help deck Spiva Park out with hundreds of thousands of twinkle lights and other holiday decor! We'll have all the lights and supplies needed (though extra ladders and wire cutters are always useful!)--we just need willing volunteers to drape the bushes, trees and walls. There will be jobs available for most skill and dexterity levels--from wrapping trees to laying lights along the walls and the ground cover. We would love some brave souls willing to climb ladders and some strong folks to help carry the large fiberglass ornaments to their oh so festive destinations. We'll have some tasty hot chocolate to help keep everyone warm, so bring a group of friends or just yourself and we'll put you to work!
