Tree Lighting

Event Details

The Christmas spirit is in the air! We’re thrilled to release details for our annual Tree Lighting Ceremony that will take place Saturday, November 20th. To help us light the magical 50-foot Christmas tree that dances to the beat of your favorite holiday songs located in center circle, The Toy Soldier will take the stage at 7pm to perform an hour-long event and will then welcome in Santa to help light the tree!

Leading up to the big performance and lighting, our popular holiday attractions will all open at 12pm featuring the Real-Ice Skating Rink, Santa’s Village including Photos with Santa, the Holiday Market with local vendors, and a Selfie Station on Santa’s Sleigh!

We’re also very excited to announce that our good friend Hayden Grove will be returning to the stage for our Tree Lighting festivities! He’ll be in East Park on the Roche Wealth Management of Raymond James Stage performing all the classic holiday hits! Check him out on Spotify. >> Click Here
