Palm Beach Gardens Set to Shine With Annual Tree Lighting & Debut of the Mistletoe Market

Palm Beach Gardens is gearing up for one of its most beloved traditions as the City hosts its annual Tree Lighting Celebration on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at The Gardens North County District Park. The event runs from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., with the official tree lighting taking place at 5:45 p.m.

This year brings an exciting new addition: the Mistletoe Market, making its debut as part of the festivities. Locals can stroll through a charming selection of artisan vendors, offering everything from handcrafted décor to unique holiday gifts — the perfect way to kickstart seasonal shopping while supporting small businesses.

The evening promises to be a full holiday experience. Families can enjoy live music, cheerful carolers, inflatables, seasonal activities, delicious food trucks, and a Silent DJ Party that’s sure to get guests of all ages in the holiday groove. The Riverside Youth Enrichment Center choir will take the stage at 5:30 p.m., just moments before the community comes together to light the City’s holiday tree.

Of course, no holiday celebration is complete without a visit from the Big Man himself. At the highlight of the night, Santa will make a grand entrance aboard a fire truck, rolling in straight from the North Pole to help light the tree and spread seasonal cheer. Afterward, families can enjoy photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Food lovers will have plenty to enjoy as well, with a lineup that includes Little Moir’s, Piez Pizza, Tulum Taco Shop, Meat in the Middle, Wafflini, Kobschies Ice Rolls, Palm Beach Cider Donuts, and more.

From festive tunes to twinkling lights, this free community event captures the spirit of the season in true Palm Beach Gardens fashion. Bring your holiday cheer, your family, and your appetite — it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable night under the Florida sky.
