Oak Square Tree Lighting

The Oak Square Tree lighting in Brighton is part of Boston’s Mayor’s Enchanted Trolley Tour, now in its 29th year, and it’s designed to spread holiday cheer across neighborhoods.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what to expect:

• Hot cocoa and cookies at 6:00pm: Sponsored by Brighton Main Streets, a cozy way to kick off the evening.
• Santa visit: A chance for kids (and adults!) to share their holiday wishes.
• Tree lighting ceremony: The highlight moment when Oak Square shines bright.
• Mayor Wu and the Trolley at 6:45pm: The Enchanted Trolley rolls in, continuing the tradition of bringing holiday spirit across Boston.
• Community sponsorship: Bank of America supports the event, helping keep the tradition alive.

It’s the kind of gathering where neighbors come together, kids get excited, and the whole square feels transformed into a holiday wonderland.
