During the holidays there’s a special feeling on the Square, as if something extraordinary is about to happen.
Come experience it for yourself and join us for our Annual Tree Lighting, Weekend Holiday Entertainment, Menorah Lighting, and more!

Palmer Square’s charming Winter Wonderland is beautifully decorated!
Don’t forget to take your photo in front of our famous Spruce Tree and enjoy some hot chocolate while you get your gift shopping done.
