Join us as we celebrate the holiday season with the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in downtown North Adams.

The annual tree lighting takes place the night before Thanksgiving. Festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. with the Drury High School band and band front will leading the way with festive songs and the North Adams Fire Department’s vintage fire engine will arrive with Santa Claus. Santa and his helpers will hand out gifts to the first 500 children.

Traffic will be routed away from the tree at Monument Square on Main St. (between the First Congregational Church and First Baptist Church North Adams) where residents are asked to gather to count down the seconds until the switch is thrown and thousands of twinkling lights adorn the downtown.
