About this Event

Santa is back again this year for the City of Hurst Christmas Tree Lighting event on December 1! Avoid the general line and reserve your ticket; one per family. Photos are digitally downloadable within 3-5 business days following the event.

Please arrive in the time frame indicated on the ticket to keep your reservation. Those who come after the time window has closed can join the General Santa Line. Santa is located in the Ballroom of the Hurst Conference Center.

Stick around after (or come before) your photos to take part in the wide variety of fun activities this event has to offer! We have a snow hill, Christmas train, petting zoo, Christmas crafts, holiday shopping at our marketplace, food court, face painting, and all topped with a fireworks show! The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony and Fireworks show begins at 7:00 p.m. Santa will take a break between 6:50 - 7:10 to assist with the lighting of the tree.
