Town of Shalimar Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

Get Ready for Shalimar’s 5th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting! Join us for a magical evening as we light up Shalimar for the holidays! Gather your family and friends for the countdown as we switch on the lights for our beautiful tree at Town Hall, along with all the twinkling lights in Marquee Park (from Cherokee Rd to Gardner Dr - Hwy 85 and Clifford Dr).

What’s in store?
Festive treats: Enjoy Christmas cookies, hot chocolate, and sandwiches (while they last!)
Live music: The Choctaw Jazz Band will be filling the air with Christmas cheer!
Santa is coming to town! He’ll arrive at 5:15 pm for pictures—don’t miss out!
Face painting by the talented Mrs. Patty Monroe is back by popular demand!
Get an up-close look at the fire truck parked outside!

Special performances to light up the night: A spirited performance from Meigs Middle School Goldenettes!, The Boy Scout Troop 5529 will proudly "Post the Colors" and lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. But that’s not all… The Grinch will be sneaking around, causing his usual mischief! Volunteers from the Miss Okaloosa County 2024 Pageant will be helping us out at different booths.

This is a night to bring the whole community together and celebrate the joy of the season!
