5:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Downtown Mount Clemens hosts its 24th Annual Christmas Open House & Tree Lighting Ceremony on Friday, November 21.  The festivities kick off at the Fountain Stage at 5:00 PM with music provided by the First Presbyterian Church Arts Academy. Santa Claus arrives by horse-drawn sleigh at 6:00 PM, and on his cue, all of the Downtown holiday decorations will be lit.  Free photos with Santa will be available from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Starting at 5 PM, “Santa Pass” reservations may be picked up at the Fountain Stage.

Santa Passes are in half hour intervals so that families can explore the Downtown businesses and activities without having to wait in line for photos.  Passes go quickly and are issued on a first come, first served basis.

Other activities include free horse-drawn trolley rides and a variety of children’s activities at different Downtown businesses.  Many businesses will also feature sales, giveaways, and refreshments.  Bring an unwrapped toy for the Mount Clemens Goodfellows “No Child Without a Christmas” campaign.  Downtown Mount Clemens businesses are serving as drop points for toy donations throughout the entire holiday season.
