BBQ Foodtruck
1:00 - 5:30 p.m. Saturday, December 6, 2025
The Tumwater Christmas Tree Lighting Festival is held each year on the 1st Saturday in December, at the Tumwater City Hall & Headquarters Fire Station.
This popular holiday event includes performances by local and school choirs, treats from our sponsors, holiday ornament-making, on-site food trucks (2025 trucks include Flaming Pig BBQ, Sweetlee's Ice Cream, and Travelin' Tom's Coffee), and of course, the lighting of the tree.
Take pictures with Santa in his workshop - otherwise known as the City Hall Council Chambers - during the event (1 - 5 p.m.).
Santa's elves from the Thurston County Food Bank will also be on site collecting donations of non-perishable food.
Join us at this special event; you are sure to have a festive time!
Event Parking available in the adjacent Attorney General's Office parking lot (7141 Cleanwater Dr SW). No parking at the Fire Station; disabled parking at City Hall. Please call (360) 754-4160 for more information.
