Baldwin is gearing up for its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony, set to take place this Friday evening, December 6, at Mitchell Gailey Park. The festive event, which has become an exciting tradition for the community, will begin at 6 p.m. and will bring holiday cheer to attendees of all ages.

The celebration will feature a variety of fun activities, including hot cocoa and cookies, perfect for warming up as families gather to enjoy the season’s festivities. The Baldwin Elementary School choir will spread holiday spirit with a performance of Christmas carols, filling the park with holiday music.

Children will have the opportunity to take a ride around the park on a train, allowing them to see the beautiful holiday displays set up throughout the park. Attendees will enjoy making treats at a s’mores station.

No Christmas celebration is complete without a visit from Santa Claus, and this year, the jolly old elf will be making an appearance at the event. Santa will be available to greet children of all ages, and families can capture the moment with a photo at The Little Gypsy Camper.

The Baldwin Christmas Tree lighting is a free, family-friendly event, making it ideal for locals looking to celebrate the holiday season together.

The festivities will take place at Mitchell Gailey Park, located next to the Baldwin Fire Department at 155 Willingham Avenue in Baldwin.
