Join family and friends as the community gathers for one of Bedford’s great traditions: the annual Tree Lighting on Tuesday, December 10.
The fun begins early in the evening:
- At 6:15, Recreation Department Kids’ Club Staff will delight the children with stories of the season in the First Parish Church on the Common.
- At 6:45, The Community will gather on the Town Common in preparation of the grand count down and enjoy the music of Tree Lighting quartet “The Bedford Four.”
- At 7 pm, Citizen of the Year Ralph Hammond will flip the switch to turn on the lights when the count reaches “one.”
Once the Common is aglow, a special visitor from the North Pole will arrive atop a shiny red fire engine with candy cane treats and wishes for a very special holiday season.
As the evening winds down and everyone heads home, the holiday lights will continue to shine into the New Year.
