Santa plans to be on Cedar Street near the Broadway end beginning at around 3:00. He wants to hear what the good girls and boys have been doing this year, but particularly wants to talk with kids who may not have done everything that they were supposed to or may have  misbehaved.

Groups of carolers will be strolling through the downtown beginning at around 3:30 and they will all convene at the tree for the lighting event, after which everyone will be encouraged to sing carols together.

Special this year will be a parade by the victorious Varsity Football team, who will join everyone at the tree for the lighting.

After the tree-lighting festivities, everyone will be invited back to the Main Street Firehouse for hot chocolate, cookies, and coffee. During the evening, all of the restaurants will be continuing the spirit of holiday cheer.

Come help the Village celebrate the special qualities of Dobbs Ferry’s historic downtown, as it demonstrates why main street is where it is happening for the holidays.
