Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony

The holiday season doesn’t truly begin until we light our iconic Christmas tree. Join us for this annual tradition with caroling, drinks, snacks, and the thrilling moment when Santa arrives, we flip the switch and light the tree, to welcome another glorious Christmas season in Watch Hill.

The Tree Lighting Ceremony will begin at 5:00 p.m. Dinner with Santa will immediately follow (reservations required). For the health and safety of attendees, Santa will not be available for individual photos with children this year. This year’s brief ceremony will be outdoors with access to the hotel for only dinner and overnight guests with confirmed reservations. 

While this is a complimentary event, we kindly suggest that guests bring an unwrapped toy for our holiday toy drive. For any questions, please contact destination services at 401.584.7000.

Please note valet parking is not available on this evening, parking will be available on Bay Street and the surrounding area of Watch Hill.
