Event Details

The annual New Haven Tree Lighting Celebration is the City’s traditional kick-off to the holiday season.  The 2009 event scheduled for Thursday, December 3* from 4-8pm is held in the heart of downtown on the historic New Haven Green. The evening celebration brings hundreds of families together for holiday cheer and is free of charge.

 

The event is hosted by News Channel 8 and MyTV9’s Gil Simmons and Desiree Fontaine and will feature live musical performances by Unity Boys Choir, Betsy Ross Arts Magnet School and Fair Haven School choirs with guest appearances by Santa, Ronald McDonald and others.  Local service organizations will be on site providing free popcorn and cider.

From 4-8pm, children will have their choice of free rides- a carousel, a tug or train. They can also ride “Lucy” the Polar Bear and “Storm the Reindeer” both life-sized mechanical animals.  Meanwhile, guests can hop on a hayride around the Green – also free of charge.  Photo opportunities are available for children and their families in the midst of a “winter wonderland” or with Santa until 7:30pm.
