Downtown Rutland Tree Lighting

Join us on Friday, November 28th, at 6:00 PM in Depot Park!

Celebrate the start of the holiday season with a traditional tree lighting ceremony. Enjoy festive activities leading up to Santa's arrival by fire truck at 6:30 PM, when he will illuminate the holiday tree!

At our event, our wonderful volunteers will be handing out hundreds of holiday light specs and candy canes.

We want to thank our local community partners for bringing cocoa and cookies:

• Hot cocoa from Mission City Church

• Cookies from The Pines at Rutland Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation

The tree lighting could not happen without the support of Rutland City. Thank you:

• Rutland Recreation and Parks Department

• Rutland City's Foresters and Arborists, Timothy Smith and Joseph Epler

• Rutland City's Department of Public Works

Our event is made possible through the generous support of our community. Sponsors for our 2025 holiday events include:

• Bank of Bennington

• Stewart's Shops

• The Pines at Rutland Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation
