Looking for free holiday fun for the whole family and a chance to see Santa without that harrowing drive to the North Pole? Join Tumwater Parks & Recreation for the 20th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Festival on Saturday, December 2, from 1:00 to 5:30 p.m. at Tumwater City Hall and the Tumwater Headquarters Fire Station.

Enjoy school choir performances, take pictures with Santa, enjoy treats from our sponsors, decorate wood disk holiday ornaments courtesy of Tumwater Arts, watch the ceremonial tree lighting, and more!

Thank you to our 2023 sponsors: Olympia Federal Savings, Hanson Motors, Heritage Bank, WSECU, and Toyota of Olympia.
