ANNUAL HOLIDAY LIGHTING CEREMONY AND SHOW
We officially and joyfully begin the holiday season with a classic rendition of the stage production, “Twas the Night Before Christmas,” performed by Vermont Stage Company at 5:30p.m.
Beautifully costumed and professionally presented, this humorous and delightful performance will brighten the eyes of children and gladden the hearts of young and old alike. Carolers will sing on the Marketplace prior to the show and all are invited to sing along.
The performance culminates with the illumination of 250,000 LCD lights on Church Street, a cherished tradition. Official lighting time is 6:00 p.m. SHARP! Our 50-foot holiday tree is lit with thousands of colored LCD lights in shades of red, gold, tangerine, blue and green. It shines the full length of the Marketplace, a beacon to all lovers of the holiday season!
