The Annual Christmas Tree Lighting

Get ready to sing along to joyful carols or strike your best pose with Santa Clause, because he is coming to town to light the tree at the Market Common. The Annual Christmas Tree Lighting, held in front of the Grand 14 Theater, will be Saturday, November 17th from 6-8pm. Bring the whole family down to play carnival games, get faces painted, and ride the trackless train down Deville Street. You can even take a complimentary carriage ride between 6pm and 9pm. You won’t want to miss this Christmas magic! So plan ahead, pack some chairs and blankets, and get ready for some holiday cheer!

Marshwalk Wonderland of Lights
