2022 Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony with New Colony Six
On Friday, Nov. 25, Elk Grove Village's 24th annual Holiday Tree Lighting will kick off the holiday season on the Village Green. This year's lineup will include a performance from New Colony Six and the arrival of Santa Clause.
Concluding New Colony Six's performance, Mayor Craig B. Johnson will join them on stage to flip the switch to light up the holiday tree, Municipal Complex, Elk Grove Public Library, and Elk Grove Park District Pavilion which will consist of over 250,000 lights.
A special fireworks display will follow the tree lighting, announcing the grand arrival of Santa and his elves. Santa will be guided in by a very special vehicle. Hot chocolate, hot apple cider and cookies will be served.
