Tree lighting

Weymouth Christmas Tree Lighting and Holiday Festival

Expand to see the parent tip

Weymouth gathers outside Town Hall on Middle Street for its official Christmas tree lighting, wrapped into a late afternoon holiday festival run by the town’s community events team under Mayor Michael Molisse.

The town calendar lists the 2026 edition for the first Saturday in December, timed so families can arrive before dark and watch the tree switch on as the sky goes black.

Parent tip: The festival starts at 4 pm and wraps at 6:30 pm, so it fits before dinner even for little ones; dress warm for standing on the Town Hall lawn.

Village festival

Christmas in Columbian Square Village Festival

Expand to see the parent tip

One week after the Town Hall lighting, the holiday spirit moves to South Weymouth for Christmas in Columbian Square, a village festival in the town’s historic crossroads.

The town’s community events office runs it, and photos from the December 2025 edition sit in the town’s event gallery, so this is a returning tradition rather than a first try.

Parent tip: Parking around Columbian Square fills fast on a festival night, so park on a side street and walk the last few blocks.

Plan your December

When each Weymouth Christmas event for kids happens

Both festivals land on Saturday afternoons a week apart, so you can do the Town Hall tree on December 5 and Columbian Square on December 12 without either one running late.

Looking further afield? Our Massachusetts Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the state, and we have city guides for Hingham, Boston, Norwood and Westwood. The national search sorts every event by distance from your town.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
