Great Falls village Field
(behind the post office)

4:00pm - 6:00pm

A Free Community Event

Celebration of Lights

Celebrate the beginning of the season with our Annual Christmas Tree Lighting!

Enjoy hot cocoa and cookies as the sounds of the season fill the air with performances by local school musical groups.

Visit the petting zoo and pony rides before Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive by fire truck to light the tree at 5:00. Children are then welcome to share their holiday wishes with Santa.

Don't forget to view the Live Nativity in closing!

The Great Falls Chapter of YMSL (Young Men's Service League) will be onsite hosting a bedding drive to support Sleep in Heavenly Peace, an organization that builds and delivers beds to children in need. Please consider bringing new unwrapped twin-sized children's sheets, comforters or a bed in a bag. Thank you!
