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 21st Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Festival on Saturday, December 7, from 1:00 to 5:30 p.m. at Tumwater City Hall and the Tumwater Headquarters Fire Station.

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

Thank you to our 2024 sponsors: Olympia Federal Savings, WSECU, and Toyota of Olympia.
