Tree Lighting

Our annual Tree Lighting show at Bank of America Winter Village returns to the park on December 1, 2026 at 5:30pm.

This in-person event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Entry will begin at 3:30pm on a first come, first served basis. If you can't make it to the park, enjoy the livestream here!

Please note: The Rink closes early on the day of Tree Lighting. Public skating resumes right after the show, around 6:15pm. The Lodge bar + food hall will remain open all day.

Thanks to generous support from Bank of America, the 2025 Tree Lighting will be available to stream on this webpage. Be sure to bookmark this page, and return to watch with friends and family on Tuesday, December 3.

This year’s tree, standing 45 feet tall and weighing more than 8,000 pounds, is a sight to be seen with over 12,000 lights and 1,200 oversized ornaments, including giant glimmering pine cones and traditional holiday bells.
