SAUGUS – Town Manager Scott Crabtree is pleased to announce that one of the community’s most beloved events, the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony and Festivities, is coming to town.
Residents young and old are invited to Town Hall on Friday, Dec. 1, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., for a fun-filled evening with Santa, sleigh rides, a petting zoo, a moon bounce, hot chocolate, cookies, entertainment, horse-drawn hay rides, and much more. The town is also excited for the return of holiday trackless train rides, which will run weather permitting.
“Please join your family and friends and come out to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season as a community,” Crabtree said. “This is one of our town’s most unforgettable annual events, so I hope to see you all there.”
Each year the Tree Lighting Ceremony and Festivities is bigger and more magical than ever, thanks to countless hours of preparation and setup by volunteers, the Department of Youth and Recreation, the Department of Public Works, the Building Maintenance Department, and numerous other municipal employees. This beloved event would also not be possible without the continued support and generosity from residents and local businesses.
This year’s Tree Lighting Ceremony and Festivities will kick off at 5 p.m. sharp on Friday, Dec. 1. The tree lighting will take place at 7 p.m., and the evening will conclude by 8 p.m.
