Downtown Shelton Tree Lighting On Dec. 2, 2022

SHELTON -– Community members are invited to join Celebrate Shelton at the Rotary Pavilion at Veterans Memorial Park in Downtown Shelton for the Ninth Annual Community Tree Lighting on Friday, December 2nd at 5:30pm.

Enjoy hot cocoa and cookies while shopping with 10+ artisan vendors, ornament-making hosted by The Giggling Pig, and stay warm by the community bonfires by the Boy Scouts of America Housatonic Council. We are proud to host entertainment from Center Stage Theater, Shelton High School & Shelton Intermediate School Choirs.

This is an official drop-off for TEAM Inc.’s TEAM Toys 4 Kids. Please bring a new, unwrapped toy for children ages 0 – 12 to help the families directly in our community that are in need this holiday season. Let’s give them the best holiday yet!

The downtown tree lighting will be held at 7:00pm. Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive shortly thereafter on the Echo Hose Hook & Ladder Fire Truck. Children are encouraged to bring their letters to Santa and take a photo. Guests are reminded to bundle up in case it’s a chilly night.
