The Christmas Festival at the Morristown Green, presented by the Morristown Partnership, promises once again to transform the downtown into a winter wonderland.
For over 100 years, generations of residents and visitors have come to the heart of downtown Morristown to enjoy the magic of the Christmas season. It began in 1913 with a small group of festive volunteers lighting a single star atop one tree on the Morristown Green. Since that time, this tradition has spread holiday cheer to countless families with its addition of a Santa House, holiday music and crafts, a vintage-style oversized rocking horse, ice sculpture demonstrations, free rides around the Green on a miniature electric trail. All activities are free with the exception of a $15 fee for photos with Santa.
A full calendar of family friendly activities will be posted for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the month of December. Look for a detailed activities and entertainment schedule on our website Event Page – posted on a rolling basis so please keep checking back!
