See the town square come to life! The Annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony will be held on Friday, November 27, 2026 (Black Friday) at Central Park in Fairfield. To begin the illumination and officially welcome the holiday season, the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce organizes this festive community tradition.

Special thanks to our 2026 Holiday Lighting Ceremony Presenting Sponsor: Everybody’s Whole Foods!

The Fairfield High School Choir will set the mood by singing holiday music beginning at 5:30 p.m. The holiday lights will turn on around 6:00 p.m., immediately following the caroling, as the community gathers for this special moment. The current Citizens of the Year will have the honor of throwing the switch to illuminate the square for the season.

After the lights come on, Santa will be welcoming children in the Santa House to hear their holiday wishes. Horse-drawn wagon rides will circle the square, adding to the magic of the evening. Free hot cocoa and cookies will be available at the Santa House, making it a warm and festive experience for all ages.

Return every Friday and Saturday evening throughout the holiday season to visit Santa from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Guests can take photos with Santa and stop into the workshop to add their photo to a commemorative ornament.

Thank you to all of our 2026 sponsors for helping make this beloved community tradition possible. It’s not too late to be part of the holiday magic—join this list of wonderful community partners and help us light up Fairfield this season!
