New Location – Celebration Space at Hawthorn Row
To offer more amenities (including places to warm up!), plus better visibility and access, we are moving this year's Holiday Light Celebration to the open space adjacent to Yardhouse in the Hawthorn Row section of Hawthorn Mall. 

New Events – Fun for the Whole Family
Santa will arrive aboard a Countryside Fire truck. Tree lighting, photos, winter princess meet-and-greet and more. You'll find vendors, hot cocoa, a giant gingerbread inflatable slide, an ice rink and more! More details and updated available on the Hawthorn Mall Special Events webpage.

More Lights Around Town 
During the holiday season, Public Works sets up more lighted displays around town – thank you! 

Free Admission
