Seasonal & Holidays
Festival of Trees
This annual free family event brings the community together to celebrate the start of the holiday season.
We’ve got Santa’s arrival, the lighting of the trees, and the holiday spirit all wrapped up! When Santa arrives at Village Hall on December 4 at 6:00PM, you’ll help him ring in the season by lighting the Festival of Trees. Then join him for a photo opportunity, activities from event sponsors and a chance to remind him what’s on your Christmas list.
