SAUGUS — Town Manager Scott Crabtree is pleased to invite all residents to join in a night of good cheer and lots of fun activities at the Tree Lighting Ceremony on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. outside Saugus Town Hall.
The annual Tree Lighting Ceremony is one of the most special days in our community when families gather together to enjoy some holiday magic, with highlights that include:
- Riding the trackless train (weather permitting)
- Petting zoo
- Sleigh rides
- Bounce house
- Photos with winter characters
- Complimentary treats such as cookies, hot cocoa, and cider
The festivities all lead up to the big moment at 7 p.m. sharp when Santa arrives and turns on the dazzling lights strung up on trees on the Town Hall grounds and Saugus Center rotary.
Crabtree thanked the dedicated municipal employees, volunteers, and local businesses whose contributions help make the Tree Lighting such a resounding success each year.
The Youth and Recreation Department, Department of Public Works, Building Maintenance Department, and other town employees all play key roles in planning and setting up the Tree Lighting.
“Please join us for the Tree Lighting to celebrate the start of the holiday season,” Crabtree said. “This is a wonderful event for the whole community to enjoy. We can’t wait to see you there!”
