Santa Is Coming Back To The Morristown Green This Month

MORRISTOWN, NJ — It may only be November but the Morristown Green is about to be transformed into a winter wonderland once more.

The Morristown Green Christmas Festival will begin with Santa's arrival on Nov. 26 at 5 p.m.

Family activities, entertainment and Santa visits and photos will take place on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout December until the 17th.

In addition to the sights and sounds of the season, the sound of holiday carolers will fill the air, and event sponsor Hyatt Regency Morristown will provide cookies, hot chocolate and hot apple cider to warm those gathering to enjoy this festive night.

“There is nothing more magical than experiencing the holidays in festive downtown Morristown and one of the highlights is the Christmas Festival at the Morristown Green. The Hyatt Regency Morristown is proud to be a sponsor of this timeless event and we look forward to kicking off the holiday season with our wonderful community,” said Kristine Blake, Area Director of Sales, Events and Marketing.

For over a century, generations of residents and visitors have come to the heart of downtown Morristown to experience the magic of the holiday season. It all started in 1913 with a small group of festive volunteers lighting a single star atop one tree on the Morristown Green.

Since then, this tradition has spread holiday cheer to countless families with the addition of a Santa House, holiday music and crafts, a vintage-style oversized rocking horse, ice sculpture demonstrations and free rides around the Green on a miniature electric trail.

Santa's Arrival, presented by the Morristown Partnership, will coincide with the 'Countdown to the Lighting of the Green,' which will include seasonal decor, thousands of sparkling lights on the Green and lamppost wreaths around downtown.

This year, residents should look for a new centerpiece tree on the Green, as well as refurbished arches and new bows accenting the town wreaths. The Santa House has also been refurbished for the holidays this year.
