Fort Collins residents should take note of the upcoming holiday closures. If you're planning to visit city offices or use public services during the festive period, it's essential to know the schedule changes.
According to the City of Fort Collins, all City offices will close in observance of Christmas Day on Wednesday, December 25, and New Year’s Day on January 1, 2025. However, essential services such as fire, police, and utilities will continue to operate, ensuring public safety and convenience throughout the holidays.
Those looking to navigate the city during these times should be aware that Transfort services will be running on a holiday schedule on both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day and keep in mind that all Transfort and parking offices will be inaccessible on December 25 and January 1.
For community members seeking entertainment or recreation, there will be closures to consider. The city's recreation facilities, such as golf courses, and community centers, including EPIC, Mulberry Pool, Northside Aztlan Community Center, Foothills Activity Center, and the Fort Collins Senior Center, will shut their doors at 2 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. The Gardens on Spring Creek will take a break from the festivities, closing on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day, providing a silent repose from the season's joyful clamor.
Meanwhile, knowledge seekers should note that the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery plans to close on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day, yet it remains a beacon of learning on New Year's Eve. After the holidays have passed, normal hours will resume for all city offices and facilities beginning Thursday, December 26, and Thursday, January 2, 2025, so life in Fort Collins can return to its regular rhythm.
