From the City of Apopka
A tree-lighting ceremony is a cherished tradition that brings communities together and ignites a spirit of unity and celebration during the holiday season.
As families gather to witness the enchanting moment when the lights illuminate the towering tree, the event fosters connections among neighbors, creates lasting memories, and emphasizes the importance of community and joy—a reminder of the warmth and love that truly defines this festive time of year.
It's just a week away in Apopka, and it unofficially starts the holiday season.
Apopka’s annual Tree Lighting event is set for Friday, December 6th at Kit Land Nelson Park from 6 PM to 8 PM. Join the City of Apopka as the community comes together to celebrate the holiday season with festive lights, holiday displays, and a special tree lighting ceremony.
This free, family-friendly event will feature holiday music, local vendors, and fun activities for kids. Craft vendors will be stationed around the park, offering a variety of unique holiday gifts. Guests can also shop, browse local business booths, and enjoy a selection of savory and dessert food trucks.
Throughout the evening, local organizations and schools from Apopka will perform holiday classics. Each will bring its festive arrangement to share with neighboring communities.
Santa Claus will also make a special appearance, allowing children to meet with him, share their holiday wish list, and capture the moment with a photo. Additional activities include bounce houses, face painting, and more!
Location: Kit Land Nelson Park, 10 S. Forest Avenue, Apopka, FL 32703
