Delray Beach’s Holiday Magic Begins Here

About this event

Light Up the Holidays at Delray Beach’s 100-Foot Christmas Tree

Kick off the season with one of Delray Beach’s most beloved holiday traditions—the lighting of our iconic 100-foot Christmas Tree !

Gather with family and friends as Santa flips the switch at 7PM , bringing the magnificent tree to life in a dazzling display of lights and holiday cheer. Once the tree is glowing, step inside to experience the story of Delray Beach’s “Village by the Sea” through whimsical animated holiday scenes.

Continue the celebration in Santa’s Holiday Village , filled with festive activities for all ages:

• Glide across the ice-skating rink

• Take a spin on the carousel

• Play a round of mini golf

• Visit Santa inside his charming holiday house

The magic extends along Atlantic Avenue , which will be closed to traffic from Swinton Avenue to NE 5th Avenue for a festive, walkable evening. Enjoy delicious food, games, carolers, a silent disco and plenty of holiday surprises along the way.

Come experience the lights, laughter and wonder that make the holidays in Downtown Delray Beach truly unforgettable!

🎁 Did You Know?

Delray’s famous Christmas Tree began as a 50-foot tree in 1993, purchased by the Downtown Development Authority to help revitalize the city’s downtown. Two years later, it grew to 100 feet to celebrate Delray Beach’s Centennial - 100 feet for 100 years! What began as an effort to bring light to our community has since become one of South Florida’s most cherished holiday traditions.

Enjoy the tree and Santa’s Village through New Year’s Day!
