Tree Lighting Ceremony

November 27th

This year, we’re bringing back all your holiday favorites: music, hot cocoa, fireworks, and Santa, of course!

We’re also adding something new to the celebration: a Holiday Art Market organized by Studio Hood Canal. The market will feature local artists, a silent auction, and a food drive benefiting The Youth Connection. If you’d like to take part, bring pop-top canned goods in a cloth bag and receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a special holiday gift basket. It’s a wonderful way to give back while enjoying the season’s magic.

The Roosevelt High School Drumline will set the tempo for Santa and Mrs. Claus’ grand arrival aboard the Lady Alderbrook. After the countdown and tree lighting, stay a while to take photos with Santa and capture the perfect memory for your holiday cards. The official event schedule will be shared soon — check back here or follow us on social media for updates as we get ready to kick off the holiday season together on Hood Canal.
