You're Invited: Scarsdale’s Annual Holiday and Tree Lighting Ceremony-Friday, December 6 from 5 -7pm

santatruckCome ‘Light the ‘Dale’ in Scarsdale Village to welcome in the 2019 holiday season with your neighbors and friends on Friday, December 6 from 5 pm to 7 pm! Join the fun at this annual event full of good cheer, beautiful music, and great food. And don’t miss out on the time-honored holiday tradition of seeing Santa arrive in style on a fire truck and complimentary hot chocolate courtesy of the Scarsdale’s Police and Fire Departments!

There is fun for all ages! Come listen to and sing along with the Hoff Barthelson Holiday Carolers and SHS a cappella group For Good Measure, as they perform your holiday favorites. Santa will be visiting until 7:00 pm, so children will have plenty of time to share their gift list.

Children can enter their names for a chance to “Light the Dale” with Mayor Samwick. Scarsdale Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department will collect names at the beginning of the event, so come early to enter to win an opportunity for your child to create a magical, unforgettable memory. At 5:30 pm, the Mayor will pick one lucky winner to flip the switch to light our beautiful tree and magnificent menorah, courtesy of Westchester Reform Temple.

Children can partake in planting native pine tree seeds, decorating cookies and making beaded bracelets for the holidays! And don’t forget the face painting!

And what's a party without some delicious food? Food Trucks! Food Trucks! Food Trucks! Walter’s Hot Dog and Westchester Burger will be on site serving tasty bites while you and your family enjoy the festive activities.

Be sure to bring your neighbors and friends to this festive kick-off to the holidays. Mayor Marc Samwick commented, “We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful community that comes together each year to usher in the holiday season and celebrate together.”

Light the ‘Dale is sponsored by Scarsdale Village specifically the Village Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department, the Village Manager’s Office, Scarsdale Police and Fire Departments. Special thanks to the Scarsdale Fire Department for use of the Fire Truck for Santa.
