2026 Light up the Night and Tree Lighting

Light Up the Night is an annual event sponsored by the Special Events Committee to ring in the holiday season. The event will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 1:30 - 6:30 p.m. at Oak Ridge Town Park. 

Join the festivities as the Town's Christmas tree is lit amidst over 1,400 luminaries, lighted archways, stars and snowflakes that will brilliantly illuminate the park's pathways. Visit with Santa, take a tractor ride with the Grinch himself, warm yourself with a cup of hot chocolate as you browse the craft booths for some early holiday shopping, and sing your favorite carols with the choir. The night promises to be filled with warmth and sparkle!
