Fair Haven holds
annual holiday
tree lighting
Saturday, Nov. 30 at 3:30 p.m.—FAIR HAVEN—The
Fair Haven Concerts in the Park committee will be hosting
its annual holiday tree lighting in the park on Main
Street, Saturday, Nov. 30. The start time will be 3:30 p.m.
with hopes of a little additional light.
As in years past, the event will include songs of the
season, a visit from Santa, hot chocolate and cookies. It
has become a tradition that Santa arrives by fire engine,
escorted by local volunteer firefighters. Following the
visit from Santa, scheduled for a 4 p.m. arrival from the
North Pole, participants will gather around the fountain
and the tree lighting will take place.
For the past few years, this event has continued to
grow and hundreds of people gather to greet Santa and
to watch as they light several of the trees in the park.
There are so many great events taking place in the region,
and organizers hope you start the holiday season
in Fair Haven!
