Holiday Tree Lighting

Join us for our annual Holiday Tree Lighting event on Tuesday, Dec. 7 from 5-7 p.m. The festivities will include the Mayor flipping the ceremonious switch to light the lights of the Great Lawn, followed by the APD and AFR escort of Santa to the city. The free event will also feature crafts, hot cocoa, treats, live reindeer, ice sculptures, and pictures with Santa himself. Other events on campus in coordination with Holiday Tree Lighting include the Aurora History Museum’s Festival of Wreaths and Aurora Water’s Waterwise Holiday Garden Stroll in the Xeriscape Garden.
