Easton’s Grand Illumination

The Easton Holiday season starts on Friday, November 22, 2024 from 6-9 pm. 

You can expect seasonal surprises at the Grand Illumination, including millions of twinkling lights. 

The fun begins at 6PM, with over 2 million holiday lights turning on everywhere around Easton at 7PM.

Shop and stroll through the sidewalks of Easton Town Center with the holiday magic all around. Town Square will be illuminated with the 50 foot tree featuring a 5 foot star. 

You’ll also want to see the Easton Express Railway travel through tunnels and villages before it makes its way to the North Pole. Stop at the other trees for a selfie, including the Central Park Fountain’s 30 foot tree, and the tree at Easton Gateway in the fountain at Gaslight Square.

Visit the Town Square, Central Park Fountain, Fenlon Square, and The Yard for festive fun. There are so, so many photos ops as you walk, shop, and snap your way through Easton. 

More details will be announced.
