The tradition of Santa making his way into Rutland to kick off the holiday season will continue this year with the annual Santa’s Arrival and Tree Lighting on Friday, November 24 at 6 p.m. in Depot Park in Downtown Rutland. Santa arrives in Depot Park where he throws the switch for the holiday tree. Rutland City Mayor John Cassarino accompanies Santa in the lighting. The evening also includes wagon rides, clowns, caroling, refreshments and more.

As soon as Santa’s official tree lighting duties are fulfilled, he heads to his throne where he visits with children to listen to their Holiday wishes.
