Christmas Tree Lighting & Parade of Lights

December 7, 2024 @ 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

It’s that time again for our Christmas Tree Lighting and Parade of Lights Evening Event! Mark your calendars, December 7th!

  • 3-5pm: free carousel rides the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round, crafts at The Children’s Museum at Holyoke.
  • 5-6pm: in front of Holyoke City Hall on High Street we will have music, hot chocolate, cookies, popcorn and more!
  • 6-7pm: We are tracking Santa and are thinking he may arrive with the Parade of Lights around 6pm, where he’ll meet up with me and our friends from PeoplesBank to light the tree!

Big thanks to our friends at PeoplesBank for sponsoring the tree and to Curran Construction for the delivery of the tree to City Hall right on the green of Curran Plaza. Huge shoutout to the City of Holyoke DPW who decorates the tree and the lampposts along High Street to make downtown look festive for the holiday season! And also thank you to our Holyoke Parks & Recreation Department for coordinating this unique Holyoke tradition and always making it a wonderful experience for Holyokers and its visitors.
