A Free Community Event
Celebration of Lights
Celebrate the beginning of the season with our Annual Christmas Tree Lighting!
Enjoy hot cocoa and cookies as the sounds of the season fill the air with performances by local school musical groups.
Visit the petting zoo and pony rides before Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive by fire truck to light the tree at 5:00. Children are then welcome to share their holiday wishes with Santa.
Don't forget to view the Live Nativity in closing!
A few more volunteers are still needed to help out on Sunday. Please consider sharing your time!
SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER
This year, the Great Falls chapter of YMSL (Young Men's Service League) will be onsite collecting toys to support Northern Virginia Family Service. Please consider bringing an unwrapped toy to help brighten the holidays for families in need.
