We know Halloween hasn’t even HAPPENED yet, but dates have been announced for one of the biggest Christmas celebrations in Tampa!

This year Santa Fest and the Tree Lighting will both happen in Curtis Hixton Park on Saturday, December 7th. This will pair with the popular Winter Village in the same area. The parade will kick off at 1pm and move through downtown. It starts at the intersection of Morgan Street and Madison Street, then concludes near Cass Street.

Celebrations continue after the parade throughout Curtis Hixton, and will end with Mayor Jane Castor lighting the tree at 6pm!
