Deer Park Town Center will kick off the holiday season Nov. 14 with Santa’s arrival, a tree lighting, entertainment and fireworks.

ecological The free event runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and requires no registration.

Festivities begin at 6 p.m. with a performance by Those Funny Little People, holiday characters, and Santa arriving on a firetruck to lead the tree-lighting countdown.

Fireworks begin around 6:30 p.m., concluding with a special finale honoring military veterans. Safety closures will prohibit vehicle and pedestrian traffic behind the movie theater through Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn.

Free photos with Santa will be available near the tree until 8:30 p.m., limited to one per family, with lines subject to early closure. Pictures will be posted to the Deer Park Town Center Facebook page within 72 hours. Children will receive free reindeer food while supplies last.

The event will also feature mobile carts selling holiday accessories at The Glow Zone, alongside food items from My Funnel Truck, including funnel cakes and hot chocolate.

Organizers recommend arriving early because parking is limited.
