Event Details
Join us in downtown Basking Ridge for the 12th Annual Winter Market and Tree Lighting on Saturday, December 6th. There's ice skating for the first time!
From 11-7 pm, the Winter Market is a wonderful place to shop for holiday gifts. Over 30 local vendors and artisans will be offering unique gifts! Christmas trees and wreaths will be available for sale, as well as food, desserts, and handmade items. Children can also make holiday crafts. The Winter Market is located at Bishop Janes United Methodist Church at 22 S. Finley Ave, Basking Ridge.
There will be Ice Skating from 2 pm – 6 pm, and it’s free! Visit our Iceless Ice Skating Rink in downtown Basking Ridge. It’s a synthetic ice skating surface that lets skaters glide just as smoothly as on real ice. Skates are provided for youths and adults. Full staff supervision will be there to help skaters with the skates. We thank Brian Woltman of Embrace Home Loans for sponsoring the ice skating rink and helping bring this fun activity to the community.
From 4:30 pm - 6 pm, The Parks & Recreation Department will be providing sweet treats and a holiday craft/giveaway.
At 5:30 pm, the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony begins. Performances will include the Ridge High School Tri-M Music Honor Society, the Chamber Choir from William Annin Middle School, Rudra Dance Academy, and local Basking Ridge residents, Karen and Eric Seiz, who have been performing together for the past decade as the Jamestown Duo. The event will conclude with a countdown to the lighting of the Christmas Tree. Join us in Downtown Basking Ridge near the front steps of Coldwell Banker at 1 S. Finley Ave.
We extend a sincere thank you to the Basking Ridge Fire Department for setting up the Christmas tree on the downtown green.
From 6 pm -7 pm, children are invited to visit Santa on the front porch of Ridge Family Dentistry.
This event is a joint effort between the Basking Ridge Business Alliance (BRBA), and Bishop Janes Methodist Church. Coldwell Banker is a Presenting Sponsor. Bernards Township has partnered with these organizations to help support this event.
