November 2025 - Spanish Fork Happenings
Winter Lights Parade: Santa’s coming to Spanish Fork on Saturday, November 29th at 6 PM! Bundle up, grab some hot cocoa, and line Main Street for a fun parade. After, head to the Thurber building to see Santa light the tree. https://spanishforksalemchamber.com/winterlights
Sunset Village: This multi-family housing development at 900 N 200 W (next to Casa Salza) will have 40 townhomes. It was originally going to be 55+, but that’s changed. No word on when it’ll be ready or how much it’ll cost yet.
Festival of Lights: You can check out the Festival of Lights every night from Thanksgiving (Nov 28) to New Year’s (Jan 1), from 6-10 PM. Just a heads-up, you have to buy tickets beforehand online – no tickets at the gate! https://sfcitytix.strideevents.com/events/festival-of-lights/2025/tickets
Silent Santa: For kids and adults with sensory sensitivities, there’s a special Silent Santa event on Saturday, December 6th, from 10 AM-12 PM. It’s by appointment only for a quiet, one-on-one visit. https://www.spanishfork.gov/events/silent_santa.php
Salem Pond Lighting: Head to Knoll Park Stage on Friday, November 28th at 6 PM for the Salem Pond Lighting. Santa will be there by the beach to say hi to the kids. If you can’t make it, they’ll be livestreaming it on Salem’s Instagram page, “SalemCityRecreation.”
Rec Center Opening: The new Spanish Fork Rec Center should be opening before winter officially starts (December 21st). For all the details, check out their website https://www.spanishfork.gov/departments/parkrec/reccenter/index.php
In real estate news, mortgage rates have dipped to their lowest point of the year — yet, interestingly, many buyers are still holding back. It’s a bit of a catch-22: rates tend to drop when the overall economic outlook isn’t great, but that same uncertainty makes buyers hesitant.
The truth is, there’s rarely a “perfect” time to enter the market. What matters most is finding the right time for you. I’m always happy to review your situation and share some insights to help you make the best move for your goals.
