2019 Jersey Shore Tree Lighting Ceremonies

AdobeStock_168040601 (2) (1)

While the Jersey Shore draws the masses to its beautiful beaches in the summer, Christmas time at the Jersey Shore is just as magical. Each town along the coastline, with their own special nuances, create heartwarming and fun-filled tree lighting ceremonies to bring their communities together.

The ceremonies typically include music, late store openings, places for food and drinks, and of course, a visit from Santa. Many offer a little something extra to make it their own. Asbury Park has an all-day Holiday Bazaar. Pier Village in Long Branch has an ice-skating rink and a hut selling hot chocolate. Manasquan has a Candy Cane Hunt for the little ones. Red Bank has a Holiday Express. You can join Santa on his train ride from Little Silver to Red Bank or meet him when he arrives at the Red Bank station.

The one thing they all offer is a ton of fun. So, go to one or go to as many as you can get too. And, enjoy all the magic of the season that the Jersey Shore has to offer.

Here are some of the events you can choose from. I will update the list as more information becomes available.
