Join the Village of Mamaroneck to celebrate the holidays at the 16th Annual Tree Lighting and the Santa Claus Experience, an exciting and enchanting evening taking place at Harbor Island Park on Saturday, December 11, 2021. The Westchester Chordsmen, a renowned male chorus dedicated to the singing of the finest Barbershop music, will be performing! Come in person to participate in the Village’s holiday Tree Lighting at 6:00pm (live streaming will also be available on LMC Media).

Families registered for the Santa Claus Experience can have their children write a letter to Santa. Completed letters should be dropped off in the mailbox at Village Hall’s main entrance no later than 4:00pm on Thursday, December 9th. The day of the event, participants are encouraged to decorate their car in a festive fashion for their journey through a magical, sparkling drive-through tunnel of lights and holiday characters, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the entrance to Harbor Island Park. Magic awaits children at the end of their holiday light tunnel adventure as they greet Santa on his sleigh who will personally share Seasons Greetings, wish children good tidings and holiday cheer and his elves will present a holiday keepsake ornament. Enjoy this short video from last year's Santa Claus Experience.

Have a happy and healthy holiday season!

Registration for the Santa Claus Experience is $10.00 PER CAR. Pre-register at vomrec.recdesk.com.
