🎄 Fair Oaks Tree Lighting • Christmas in Fair Oaks Village
Santa, community performances, children’s activities, hot cocoa, decorated trees, and an evening holiday tree lighting in Fair Oaks Village.
The Fair Oaks Tree Lighting brings families and neighbors together at Village Park for one of the community’s signature holiday traditions. The evening features photos with Santa and friends, community performances, children’s activities, hot cocoa, and holiday festivities throughout the Village.
The celebration builds toward the lighting of the Fair Oaks holiday tree at 7:30 PM, with FORPD’s commUNITY candles adding another local tradition to the evening. The event is scheduled to take place rain or shine, although some activities may depend on weather conditions.
Tree Lighting night also marks the opening of the Fair Oaks Festival of Trees, featuring decorated Christmas trees created by local families, businesses, and community organizations. Visitors can browse the displays and vote for the People’s Choice Award during the December 3 celebration.
