Fairview’s annual Christmas tree lighting and celebration is back with some thrilling new attractions on Saturday, Nov. 29. 

The event will kick off with a spectacular parade leaving Town Hall at 5:45 p.m. and making its way through Fairview Town Center before returning to Town Hall. The parade will include drummers dressed as toy soldiers, real fire engines, police vehicles and a horse-drawn carriage carrying Santa and Fairview Mayor John Hubbard. 

The carriage will deliver Santa and Mayor Hubbard to the west side of Town Hall (372 Town Place) for the official tree lighting at about 6 p.m. 

An ensemble from the world-renowned Vocal Majority will sing Christmas tunes for the crowd – Mayor Hubbard is a member of the award-winning chorus and will join in the caroling – and guests will be free to take photos in the horse-drawn carriage, mingle with Santa, gawk at stilt walkers and test their skills in an amazing Christmas-themed obstacle course created by American Ninja Warriors All-Star Karsten Williams, who will be on site with autograph cards.
