The 11^th Annual Town-Wide Tree Lighting & Holiday Festival will be held on Saturday, December 14th, at the Town Hall, 997 Mason Street, Morrisonville, from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. 

Continuing the town’s tree-lighting tradition (started in 2014), this year’s event will be held at the Town Hall and grounds, with plenty of space for inside festivities and outside viewing and parking.

The doors open at 4:00 pm with music, mingling, and refreshments (donuts & cookies, cocoa, eggnog & coffee) continuing until 7:30 pm.  A lighted fire truck parade moves through the hamlet, with tree lighting promptly at 4:30 pm.

Crafts to make and take and other activities for kids with special guests Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus continue from around 5 pm until all have visited.  Kids can chat with Santa and take pictures with him in front of festive holiday backdrops.   Children ages 2 through 8 will also receive an age-appropriate gift from Santa.

This is a time for all town residents, friends, and neighbors to connect during this festive holiday season.  Admission is free, and all are welcome.

Thanks to all the volunteers; more is always appreciated. For information or to volunteer, contact the Town Hall at 518-563-1129 for Mindy Smith, Town Supervisor. Thank you to sponsors Leroux Fuels and Simpson Auto and for product donations from Stewart’s Shops.

The Town of Schuyler Falls wishes all a pleasant holiday season and a Happy New Year!
