We’ll get schooled when The Shadwell Band opens for The Chalk Brothers at this Teacherpalooza affair. Legendary Coach Dale Mueller and Favorite Teacher Chuck Keller are rock stars at showing everyone a good time. You won’t want to miss! Opening act Collin Shadwell, Karen Kampschmidt, and Matt Eckerle are today’s favorite teachers at Highlands Middle School and Notre Dame Academy. Booking both acts at once is like discovering dustless chalk. Game changer!

Enjoy this fun event with the community at Tower Park.

Mark your calendar for the most joyful community night of the season!

We are changing things up a little this year to incorporate a community on wheels, " TOUR DE TINSEL", ride through town. Our Fort Thomas Firetruck with guest, Santa, will kick off the event starting at YMCA our community followed by our dressed-up community on wheels (bike, golf carts, roller blades, etc.). That's right, we are asking anyone in our community to dress up in holiday gear or dress up their "wheels" and follow Santa in our first ever bike parade. This ride will end in Inverness District followed by the Inverness tree lighting which will happen around 5pm. 

Following the tree lighting, we will visit our friends in Inverness before heading to the city building where Santa will set-up like last year for photos and cookies. FTC will have live music, a hot chocolate bar, Christmas Cocktails and a whole lot of cheer! The Holiday Walk will bring out businesses, churches, schools, and everything that makes US, Fort Thomas. At the end of the evening after everyone is full of hot chocolate, visited the gingerbread houses, were mesmerized by the trains, and may not be able to eat one more cookie...we are going to light the tree next to the city building at 7pm to close the festivities of our walk by 7:30pm.
