Description:

The 2009 Candlelight Walk and Tree Lighting will be held Friday, November 27 in historic Downtown Littleton.

The 26th edition of this Littleton tradition will feature a festive evening of holiday lights and music. Santa Claus and his sleigh will come down Main Street followed by carolers holding candles and flashlights. Enjoy merchant open houses and bring your camera for a photo with Santa at Town Hall Arts Center, or with his reindeer at Bradford Auto Body at 2659 West Main Street. The reindeer are generously sponsored by Bradford Auto Body and Western Welcome Week.

Main Street will close to traffic shortly after 5 p.m. Santa will begin his march down the street from the courthouse at 6:30 p.m. The event culminates at the west end of Main Street where one lucky child's name will be drawn to help Santa throw the switch on the huge live trees in the plaza.
