Christmas Festival at the Morristown Green 2024
Christmas Festival at the Morristown Green 2024
through Sunday, December 22
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 and rides on a miniature train will all return to delight the children while families bask in the glow of thousands of dazzling lights. Look for a new centerpiece tree on the Green this year, as well as updated arches and new bows accenting the town wreaths. The Santa House has also been charmingly upgraded, enhancing its festive appeal.
The event kicks off with Santa’s arrival to Morristown and the 100+ year traditional lighting of the Morristown Green on Sunday, December 1st at 5:00 p.m.
Santa visits and photos will continue until 8:00 p.m., as well as seasonal entertainment and hot chocolate, hot apple cider and cookies provided by the event sponsor, Hyatt Regency Morristown.
Family activities, entertainment and Santa visits and photos will take place each Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 7:00 p.m. throughout December until December 22nd, as well as Fridays (6th, 13th and 20th) from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Activities are free to visitors, with the exception of a $15 fee for a photo with Santa.
