Santa Lights Manassas, also known as the Tree Lighting, has been a cherished tradition in the Manassas community for over 30 years! This festive event takes place on the Friday before the Christmas Parade, starting at 5:15 p.m. This year, mark your calendars for Friday, December 6.
The evening kicks off with delightful holiday musical performances, culminating in Santa's arrival in Manassas shortly after 6 p.m. Once the tree is lit, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on hand at the TD Bank Santa Tent to meet children and hear their holiday wishes. Families can also enjoy free wagon rides to embrace the holiday spirit. Additionally, the Harris Pavilion Ice Rink will be open, along with the Manassas Museum, downtown shops, and restaurants ready to welcome visitors.
