Santa's Arrival + Tree Lighting

Join us for one of the most magical moments of the season as Santa and Mrs. Claus make their grand arrival to the Centerville Square! Families are invited to gather around the tree and help us light it up with pure holiday magic — when Santa counts to three, we’ll need the loudest, jolliest “HO! HO! HO!” to make the lights sparkle to life.

This celebration is the grand finale of Shop Small Business Saturday, so make a full day of it! Enjoy local shopping from 10 AM–3 PM, and stop by the PACT Office during that time for giveaways and prizes as our way of saying thank you for supporting small businesses.

Then, at 4:30 PM, head to The Majestic for a free screening of The Polar Express, sponsored by PACT — the perfect warm-up before the big tree lighting.

Once the tree is aglow, the fun continues! Walk over to The Ritz for free photos and holiday crafts with Santa, sponsored by our friends at Amcor. Photos and crafts will be available until 8 PM.

✨ A full day of shopping small, supporting local, and celebrating the magic of the season — we can’t wait to see you on the Square!
