Holiday Magic Tree Lighting, Fires, & Parade, Dec 5-6.

FRIDAY, December 5, 2025

Travel down Railroad Avenue for a spectacular display of Christmas cheer. Retro decorations and lights line the shop fronts and cafe lights swoop across the street as you spy the giant Christmas tree in Post Office Park. As dusk falls on the first Friday in December, the streets will be alive with activity and the annual tree lighting. Get photos with Santa, celebrate the tree lighting and music and don’t forget to get a family shot at the historic caboose and engine decked with lights and garland.

At 6:00 PM Friday,  Railroad Ave will be the location of Kristmas Town Kiwanis' Christmas block party. Enjoy marshmallow roasting, kiddie train rides, crafts, and caroling. Peninsula Credit Union sponsors free hot chocolate.
