Save the date for the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony!
Friday, Nov. 23 – 5:00 p.m.
Join our host, Rachel Ruiz of eightWest and WOODD TV 8 for a holiday season kick-off. Mayor Amna Seibold will be on-hand to lead a carol while children can meet Santa Claus and see live reindeer. Light-up wands will be available for children at various shops in the Village.
