ABOUT
The Christmas Festival at the Morristown Green will once again bring the magic and wonder of the season to the town’s famous Green. Decked out in holiday finery, the Morristown Green will become a wonderland of nostalgia during the month-long festival. Visits and photos with Santa, holiday crafts, ice sculpture demonstrations, a vintage-style rocking horse and rides on a miniature train will all return to delight the children while families bask in the glow of thousands of dazzling lights.
The event kicks off with Santa’s arrival to Morristown and the 100+ year traditional lighting of the Morristown Green. Please note the Santa’s Arrival event has been rescheduled for Friday, December 2.
Santa visits and photos will continue until 8 p.m., as well as seasonal entertainment and hot chocolate and cookies provided by the event sponsor, Hyatt Regency Morristown.
