Palmer Square Annual Tree Lighting

Gather family and friends for an evening of festive music at the Palmer Square Annual Tree Lighting event! From 5-6pm., enjoy performances by the Princeton High School Choir, dueling piano favorites The Flying Ivories, and The Sugarplums, winners of the CW’s Christmas Caroler Challenge. Keep an eye out for a possible surprise visit from Santa! Stop by the Yankee Doodle Tap Room’s outdoor Hot Cocoa Corner for a warm treat during the festivities! Make the most of this downtown Princeton holiday tradition by arriving early for holiday shopping and a bite to eat at one of Palmer Square’s restaurants before the festivities begin. Plan Ahead: Parking in Downtown Princeton Holiday shopping and tree lighting festivities make this a busy time at Palmer Square, so please allow extra time to arrive and park. Convenient garage parking is also available at the Chambers Street Garage and Hulfish Street garage. Visit our Princeton parking page for garage locations, current rates, and directions.
