Enjoy the annual Smolak Farms tree lighting, along with a cup of hot cocoa or cider and a famous cider donut while you kick off the holiday season with crafts for the kids, fun photo ops, a singalong with the Zackleys, and of course, a visit from Santa.

Activities in the barn will begin at 3:30pm. Santa will arrive and light the tree around 6:00pm. Kids will need a wristband to participate in offered activities in the barn. Each kid's wristband will include access for one adult chaperone (due to barn capacity limits). Additional adults can be purchased for $3.

Wristbands are $12/child and include:

• make-your-own Christmas ornament
• cider donut
• animal food
• a letter to Santa

If you’d just like to attend the tree lighting, enjoy live music, and snap a photo with Santa, that’s all free and open to all.

Donations will be collected for Daybreak Shelter in Lawrence. They are in need of toiletries, socks, and underwear. All donations are appreciated!**
