Village of Palatine’s Annual Tree Lighting

Following the Merry Makers Market, join us for the Village of Palatine’s Annual Tree Lighting celebration!

Families can play festive games, create merry holiday crafts, and meet Santa’s cheerful elves as they spread holiday magic throughout the evening. Gather with family and friends for twinkling lights, joyful laughter, and a magical countdown as we light the tree and welcome the season together.

ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

• Festive live music from the Palatine Children’s Chorus

• Free hot chocolate and holiday treats

• Official tree lighting countdown at 5pm with the Mayor and Santa

• Photo opportunities with Santa in the Towne Square gazebo
