Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Returns To Milford

MILFORD, MA — For the 10th year in a row, Milford residents will celebrate the holidays with a Christmas tree lighting next month.

Milford's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, hosted by Citizens for Milford, will take place on Dec. 5 at Draper Memorial Park. The event will feature holiday singing, refreshments, and a special visit from Santa.

Milford residents are invited to the free event at 5:30 p.m. for hot chocolate, cookies, brownies, and soup. The tree will be lit around 6:30 p.m.

Members of the Greater Milford Community Chorus will lead a holiday carol sing-along. Guests are also invited to take photos with Santa, who will be at the event from 5:45 to 7 p.m.

“Citizens for Milford is so excited to be organizing the tenth year of the Milford Christmas Tree Lighting," said Rosemary Trettel and Kim Smith, the event chairpersons. "We invite all residents to join us on December 5 to celebrate the start of the holiday season. We so enjoy seeing children,
family, and friends come together each year for this community event.”

If it rains or snows heavily, the tree will still be lit at 6:30 p.m., but other activities will be scaled back as needed.

Citizens for Milford collaborates with the Greater Milford Community Chorus, Milford's Rail Trail Flatbread Company, Milford Public Schools Food Service, Milford Parks Department, the Milford Fire Department, and the Milford Cultural Council to put on the event
