People's Choice: What's the Best Downtown Batavia Christmas Tree?

The holiday lights will be shining brightly in downtown Batavia on Sunday, December 1 as the Batavia Park District kicks off the season with Celebration of Lights Festival from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the Batavia Riverwalk. This popular event has become a tradition for many families and includes a community sing-a-long, tree lighting ceremony, story hour, visit with Santa and more!   

“Christmas Tree Lane” has long been a staple of the event. Every year, 25 trees are placed along the Riverwalk with local organizations sponsoring and decorating an individual tree. This year, the organizations are being challenged to be creative! 

Photos of each tree are posted to the Batavia Park District’s Facebook page. The contest will run through noon on Sunday, Dec. 1. The tree with the most “likes” will officially be crowned the “People’s Choice” winner! The winning organization will also be invited on stage to help light the ceremonial tree. 

For more information, please contact the Batavia Park District office at 630-879-5235 or visit www.bataviaparks.org. To vote for your favorite tree, visit www.facebook.com/bataviaparkdistrict.
