The Eighteenth Annual Festival on the Square Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held
Monday, November 25, 2024 in downtown Granite Falls. The Festival begins at 6:15 p.m. but we
encourage everyone to come early to see the 28 Christmas trees decorated by local school groups
and civic organizations as part of the “Light Up Granite Falls” event. Festival attendees can enjoy
beautiful live Christmas music from local school choruses and bands. Several downtown
businesses and faith-based organizations will have booths providing free refreshments and there
will be a special appearance by Santa Claus. This event has always provided great fun for the
entire family. Due to limited seating, we encourage you to bring a comfortable lawn chair and
enjoy the beginning of the holiday season in historic downtown Granite Falls. We hope to see you
there for the first snowfall of the season!
This project was supported by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the
Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
