Tradition’s Annual Tree Lighting Event

Mark your calendars for Tradition’s most beloved holiday celebration, Tradition’s Annual Tree Lighting, presented by Mattamy Homes and Bluestream Fiber! Tradition’s Annual Tree Lighting is back and bigger than ever on December 5, 2025 in Tradition Square — bringing an evening full of joy, music, food, and family fun to the heart of the community.

The magic begins at 5:00 PM, as the Square transforms into a winter wonderland. At 6:00 PM, join us as Santa Claus arrives to light the tree, officially kicking off the season with holiday cheer. Then, stick around–Santa will be available for meet-and-greets and photos, so bring your camera and your wish list!

Starting at 6:30 PM, get swept away by a two-hour performance by Vox Audio Group, a high-energy, all-vocal ensemble known for their dynamic takes on holiday favorites. Their rich harmonies and playful style will keep the whole crowd entertained.

While the music plays, explore everything the event has to offer:
Holiday shopping with a curated selection of local vendors
Delicious seasonal eats and festive treats
Train rides for the little ones
A jolly Kid Zone filled with inflatables and fun

Whether you’re making new memories or carrying on a cherished family tradition, this magical night in Tradition Square is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Don’t miss out–bundle up and join us for a holly jolly good time!
