Saranac Lake holiday parade and tree lighting scheduled for December 1st

The Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department and the village of Saranac Lake are thrilled to announce that the 10th annual Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Truck Parade and Tree Lighting will be held on Friday, Dec. 1 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The event kicks off with a fire truck parade, where area fire departments will come together in the spirit of unity and collaboration. The parade route will take fire trucks from Broadway to Main Street, featuring a special guest – Santa Claus himself!

Following the parade, festivities continue with a tree lighting ceremony in Berkeley Green from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. Santa will light the tree while everyone is invited to join in a festive holiday sing-along with the Northern Lights Choir. Warm cookies and hot cocoa will be available next to the bonfire.

Kids will have an opportunity to visit Santa from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., right after the tree lighting ceremony at Riverside Park where a beautiful 40-foot tree donated by Moody Tree Farm will be illuminated for all to see.

This event would not be possible without the support and collaboration of several valued organizations such as Women’s Civic Chamber, Saranac Lake Free Library, Adirondack Health, and Northern Lights Choir who helped make this event happen again this year!
