Description
Join us downtown for the return of Erie's larger-than-life Holiday tradition: Downtown d'Lights! Come see Santa Claus light up Perry Square and our Downtown Holiday Tree with incredible professional lighting and enjoy entertainment and refreshments in Perry Square throughout the evening!
This FREE Holiday event starts at 5:00 PM with holiday music, the Holiday Village Shops in West Perry Square, and a live-cut tree and wreath sale by Mason Farms in East Perry Square!
Santa and Mayor Joe Schember will arrive via horse-drawn carriage at 6:00 PM and help light up the park on stage! After that, Santa will be available to meet with kids during the Santa Experience in Perry Square!
Free horse-drawn carriage rides will take visitors to and from the expERIEnce Children's Museum — where there will be live reindeer! — and around Perry Square to see the lights. There will be two horse carriage ride teams this year.
Keep an eye out for special Letters to Santa Mailboxes throughout Downtown Erie in the next few weeks. Santa will be picking up letters from these mailboxes during the event and taking them straight back to the North Pole!
Huge thanks to our title sponsor UPMC Health Plan! This event couldn't happen without your generous support.
It will be a fun-filled and magical evening in Downtown Erie with something for everyone to enjoy. Join us as we expand this tradition that for years has brought people of all faiths, ages, and backgrounds together in a huge Holiday celebration!
