North Branford’s annual, family-friendly tree lighting event is set for Friday, Dec. 6. The festive fun begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Town-owned Augur property at 290 Forest Road in Northford.

In partnership with North Branford Rotary Club, North Branford Parks and Recreation is planning to host free hay rides, stage performances, an ice sculpting demonstration, marshmallow toasting, hot chocolate and cookies. Of course, Santa Claus will be there to help light the town tree.

Kids are encouraged to bring their letters to Santa to be collected at the tree lighting event and sent to the North Pole. North Branford Parks and Recreation has provided a helpful letter template which can be accessed at nbrecreation.com.

The free event includes free parking and a free shuttle. Parking for the shuttle is at North Branford Intermediate School (NBIS) at 654 Foxon Road. The shuttle will run between 5:45 p.m. and 8:45 p.m.
