Reading, MA — The 32nd Annual Tree Lighting on Reading Common will take place on Sunday, November 30, from 2:00 until 4:30 when Santa arrives by firetruck to light up the display.

This event, sponsored by the Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce, is a longtime holiday favorite that draws thousands from the community. Activities include making s’mores, hayrides, jugglers, carolers, costumed characters, trolley rides, and more. The Women’s League of Reading will be serving hot chocolate and local restaurants will offer tasty snack.

There’s more: local businesses and churches open their doors for special events and activities, welcoming friends and families all afternoon. The big event happens at 4:15 when Santa climbs a ladder on the Common and flips the switch that lights up the trees for the holiday season.

All activities are free thanks to the support of sponsoring local businesses and Chamber Memberships that cover the costs. If your business wants to be promoted as part of this community celebration, sponsorships are available at the Chamber website.
