According to the Village of Ossining and the Ossining Recreation and Parks Department the Christmas tree lighting tradition has been going on since the early 1950’s, when they would bring a new tree to the center of Main Street and gather to light it as a community and family.

There is music, hot cocoa and cider, treats, and caroling with friends and neighbors. Santa arrives in a fire truck, making it super special for the little ones.
