Christmas Tree Walk- Participation Info

For over 22 years, the Christmas Tree Walk has been the official kick off of the holiday season in Maplewood. With caroling, led by costumed characters; the arrival of Santa Claus; and the grand lighting of the Maplewood Christmas Tree; the event is reminiscent of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol! The event features carriage rides, merchant open houses, live entertainment, and holiday cheer throughout the City.

Most importantly, the streets will be filled with visitors eager to shop, dine, and support small businesses.

This year’s event will take place on Friday, December 1 from 6:00-9:00 p.m.

All Maplewood businesses are eligible to participate in the event.
