Join Celebrate Shelton at the Rotary Pavilion at Veterans Memorial Park in Downtown Shelton for the 10th Annual Community Tree Lighting and Holiday Market on Friday, December 5. The tree lighting will be at 7:30 PM.
​
Hot cocoa and cookies will be provided, as we enjoy shopping from local artisans, along with a visit from Santa & Mrs. Claus!​
There will be performances by local school choirs and our community bonfires to stay warm!
The official community tree lighting will begin at 7:30pm. Santa will arrive shortly thereafter on the Echo Hose Hook & Ladder Fire Truck. Children are encouraged to bring their letters to Santa and take a special photo. Guests are reminded to bundle up in case it's a chilly night.

Celebrate the holidays all year long by listening to our Community Tree Lighting playlist available now on Spotify.
