Families gather around the lit Christmas tree on the West Haven Green at last year's tree lighting

WEST HAVEN — Santa and Mrs. Claus are coming to the West Haven Green. The city will light its Christmas tree on Saturday, Nov. 28, and the celebration starts at 4:30 p.m.

Mayor Dorinda Borer is presenting the annual West Haven Green Christmas Tree Lighting in partnership with West Haven United, according to the city. Kim Kenny will serve as master of ceremonies.

What to expect

The city says the evening will bring live performances, hot chocolate and free children’s activities across the 5-acre Green, including firetruck rides, hayrides and train rides.

At 6 p.m., Borer will greet the crowd from a portable stage on the Main Street side of the Green. Santa and Mrs. Claus will then arrive by escort and join the mayor and her special guest on stage to light the tree.

After the lighting, Santa and Mrs. Claus will stay to meet children and pose for photos until 7:30 p.m. Kids can also drop off their wish lists at St. Nick’s official U.S. Postal Service mailbox, just steps from Santa’s workshop.

The city says more details are coming.
