From City of Apopka
Apopka’s annual Tree Lighting event is set for Friday, December 5, 2025, 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 children. Guests can shop, browse local business booths, and enjoy a variety of savory and dessert food trucks.
Throughout the evening, holiday classics will be performed by local organizations and schools from Apopka and neighboring areas, including Wolf Lake Elementary and Lakeville Elementary, each sharing their own festive arrangements with family, friends, and the community.
Santa Claus will make a special appearance, giving children the opportunity to meet him, share their holiday wish lists, and take a photo. Throughout the park, guests can experience the magic of the holidays with festive photo spots, a Florida snowfall, and live holiday toy characters inspired by the Island of Misfit Toys.
