Jersey Shore Premium Outlets Tree Lighting Is This Saturday

TINTON FALLS, NJ — The holiday season is now officially in full swing and Jersey Shore Premium Outlets will have their Christmas tree lighting this Saturday, Nov. 19 from 5-7 p.m.

All are welcome for a family-friendly evening of meet-and-greets with Santa and other characters and more.

The tree lighting will be held outside the Food Court.

There will be music from DJ Adam from AJH Entertainment, complimentary face painting and hot chocolate, a special meet-and-greet with Elsa, Ana and Olaf from Disney’s “Frozen” and a holiday performance by Animated Movement and Ranney School’s Electric Bow Fusion Group.

At 6 p.m. everyone should be ready to welcome Santa as he makes his grand entrance from the North Pole. He will then take photos with children.

Visitors who bring a non-perishable canned food item to benefit Fulfill, the food bank of Monmouth and Ocean counties, can spin the wheel for a chance to win exciting prizes, including store gift cards and more. Drop off your non-perishable food donations to the Management Office near Columbia Sportswear. Also, anyone who makes a donation through Dec. 10 will receive a reusable Vera Bradley bag, while supplies last.
