On Friday, November 21st, Alton Main Street will host an event that’s sure to get you into the holiday spirit. The 32nd annual Community Tree Lighting at Lincoln-Douglas Square will begin with the arrival of Santa Claus at 6:00 p.m. The free festivities, including caroling, cookies, and hot cocoa, will continue until 6:45 when Mayor David Goins flips the lights on the beautiful tree, which is provided by the Alton-Godfrey Rotary Club. Families are encouraged to bring their cameras to take pictures with Santa and other costumed holiday characters.
Music will fill the air throughout the evening, the tree will be blessed, and other community speakers will be on hand to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season! More details to come soon.
