Bowen's Wharf 43rd Annual Christmas Tree Lighting

4:30 p.m. - Arrival of Frosty the Snowman
5 p.m. - Local musicians lead the crowd in a Christmas Carol Sing-a-Long 
6 p.m. - The tree will be lit, and Santa and Mrs. Claus will (harbor arrival is weather permitting) sail into Bowen’s Basin.

It's the most wonderful time of the year with twinkling lights, fragrant wintergreens, beautiful bows, and a most amazing Christmas tree on Bowen's Wharf. On Saturday evening, join us for the 43rd Annual Bowen's Wharf Christmas Tree Lighting. We invite you to bring the whole family to see Frosty the Snowman, Santa, and Mrs. Claus for an evening of Christmas cheer! Make a day of it and check off that holiday gift list at our retail shops!

Come early to enjoy seasonal music around the shops (recorded music begins at 2 pm), and stay through the evening as the festivities begin with the arrival of Frosty the Snowman. 

Bowen's Wharf restaurants remain open for warm holiday meals. Many shops will offer refreshments. All are welcome, FREE OF CHARGE! Santa and his friends will be waiting for you, rain, shine, or snow!
