Village of Merrick Park kicks off the joyous season with its most beloved of free events, its annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony.  For the third time, Village of Merrick Park is environmentally friendly by lighting its 50-foot tree with 55,000 LED light bulbs. The Master of Ceremonies for this magical evening will be Belkys Nerey, Head News Anchor at FOX WSVN Channel 7.

Festivities will include a musical performance by the Coral Gables High School Choir and a holiday greeting from Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and other character favorites. Throughout The Garden live entertainment including stilt walkers and jugglers will take place. Other children’s activities include a sugar cookie decoration station provided by Whole Foods Market Coral Gables and an arts & crafts station provided by Gymboree Play & Music.
