The 34th Annual Caroling Sing-A-Long and Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held on Thursday, December 1, 2022 at 6:30PM right outside of the West Springfield Municipal Office Building (Town Hall).

The introduction of City Officials will begin at 6:30PM, hosted by the West Springfield Park & Recreation Department. Continuing the tradition, holiday songs will be sung by students from Coburn Elementary School, Mittineague Elementary School, Tatham Elementary School, Memorial Elementary School and Fausey Elementary School.  At the end of the ceremony, the trees will glow in lights following the traditional “throwing-of-the-switch” by Mayor Will Reichelt.

The Town of West Springfield sponsors the display of holiday lights and trees on the Elm Street Common and various other Town Buildings. Also continuing the tradition of beautifully decorating throughout the Town is the West Springfield Central Maintenance Department.

In addition to the Caroling Sing-A-Long and Tree Lighting event, two local organizations will also host holiday events at the same time and location. The West Springfield Police Department will host a Stuff-A-Cruiser event outside of the Town Hall and the Red Thread Network for the Arts will host their 6th Annual Yuletree Jubilee at the West Springfield Public Library.

Stuff-A-Cruiser: During the Caroling Sing-A-Long, on December 1st, the West Springfield Police Department asks you to support your community by bringing an unwrapped toy for children ages 0-12 as a way to donate to the Operation Santa Program and to help assist West Springfield families this holiday season. Drop your unwrapped toy off to the cruiser outside of the Town Hall, and walk over to enjoy the caroling and Yuletree festivities!
