Basking Ridge Official Tree Lighting & Winter Market

Basking Ridge Tree Lighting – William Annin Carolers

This update was from previous tree lightings when the Mr. Local History Project joined with the annual Winter Market and official tree lighting in downtown Basking Ridge. Friends and family join us for an afternoon of shopping, crafts, hot chocolate, Santa photos, and the official lighting of the season’s Basking Ridge Christmas tree. If you have any photos from this year’s event, we’d love to share them. Just drop us a note with your photos on our Contact Us page.

Join the Mr. Local History Project and Santa helpers and get one of this limited edition “Basking Ridge Whoville” Christmas cards to color. Did you miss getting one? Get yours here.
2023 Mr. Local History brought their drone for the official lighting fun. There was a little glitch, but it was a great time!
If you’ve never been, it’s a great fun afternoon in downtown Basking Ridge. Watch the fun from 2021.

Don’t Forget Christmas Eve!
