Description

Come celebrate the Tree Lighting on the Stoneham Common. The festivities annually herald the season with festive holiday lights and decorations enjoyed by the community for weeks to come.

The Tree Lighting is a FREE afternoon event open to all. Beginning at 3pm, attendees can enjoy fun activities, sample delicious food and beverages and be entertained with holiday music and performances. 

Santa makes his grand entrance by fire truck shortly after the festivities begin, and elves help him all afternoon as he listens carefully to requests from children. Fun activities include kiddie train rides around the common sponsored by Stoneham Recreation, games, balloon creations, holiday craft making and Santa’s Mailbox.

Traditional holiday music and current favorites play throughout the Common, and the Girl Scouts of Stoneham lead everyone in singing popular carols in front of the Big Tree. A Memory Tree provides a beautiful way to remember loved ones during the holiday season.

The festivities culminate with the traditional lighting of the big tree in the center of the Common.

The popular Tree Lighting on the Town Common is offered in partnership with StonehamBank, the Stoneham Department of Public Works, Stoneham Police and Fire Departments, Stoneham Recreation, and local sports and youth groups. 

In conjunction with the Annual Tree Lighting on the Common, we will be offering a Winter Arts & Crafts Fair in Town Hall. More than 50 local vendors will be on hand offering unique, handcrafted gifts for the holidays.
