One of Gig Harbor's favorite events among the locals is the annual tree lighting event held the first Saturday of December every year. Since it's inception more than 20 years ago the community has come together each year in holiday spirit to celebrate together.
This years event on Dec 5th begins at 5pm with music by the Peninsula Community Chorus and special activities by Harbor WildWatch. CenturyLink and the City of Gig Harbor sponsor the event and provide free Santa hats and glow necklaces.
The Gig Harbor Historic Waterfront Association provides cookies and cider for free and this year Fort Lewis will be honored for their community support. Each year Fort Lewis provides the beautiful 40 foot tree that is installed at the park by City crews.
Santa arrives around 5:30pm via Pierce County Gig Harbor Fire Truck and the tree is lit! Santa then spends time meeting with all the children in the park.
This event is a wonderful, fun, free, family, festive tradition in beautiful Gig Harbor, right on the waterfront. Join us!
