Celebrate the season with joy, music, and lights at our newly redesigned Holiday Tree Lighting/ Whoville Spectacular!

This year, instead of two separate events- the holiday tree lighting and holiday parade, we are combining them into one special night featuring a children's performance stage and THE ANNUAL TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY WITH SANTA AND THE GRINCH. 

By combining the events, we have restructured the parade where groups can perform up to a 10-minute stage performance (including load-in and load-out).

This event features our usual holiday tree lighting festivities with spotlight performances by our dazzling dancers, brilliant bands, costumed characters, community groups, and a special appearance by Santa Claus himself. This magical night brings families and neighbors together in the spirit of the holidays!

Bundle up, bring your cheer, and join us for a heartwarming tradition full of festive fun!

We’re taking holiday cheer to a whole new Whoville level in the City of Boynton Beach!

Our 2026 Holiday Tree Lighting has grown by three sizes, bringing thousands together for a free celebration featuring children’s performances, the Who Post Letters to Santa, a full food court, an expanded Grinch Playland, a stunning drone show, and immersive holiday experiences for all ages.

As one of Boynton Beach’s most beloved traditions, the Tree Lighting offers major brand visibility and a unique way to connect with residents during the most magical time of the year!
