Christmas Tree Lightings 2024: See Events Around Prince William County

WOODBRIDGE, VA — While Thanksgiving serves as the kickoff to the holiday season, it falls on a later date this year on Thursday, Nov. 28. That means numerous Christmas tree lightings will happen even before the Thanksgiving holiday, and more will follow in early December.

There are plentiful tree lightings around Prince William County if you want to get in the holiday spirit. A lighting of the vines is another take on the holiday tradition in wine country style. Below are tree lightings by date. Please email woodbridge-va@patch.com if you know any additional events, and we'll add it to the list.
