Winter Wonderland Weekends Are Coming To Downtown Toms River
Join The Downtown Toms River Business Improvement District at our Weekend Wonderland. The weekend will kick off with the Annual Tree Lighting on Friday December 1st. Meanwhile, on the following two Saturdays and Sundays, the municipal courtyard will be transformed into a Winter Wonderland.
The Tree Lighting.
Friday, Dec. 1st 5pm-7pm. There will be live entertainment beginning at 5pm. Furthermore, Santa arrives on the fire truck at 7pm to light the tree! Photos with Santa will follow the tree lighting in Town Hall. This is a great opportunity to get the little ones to see Santa early and in a unique setting, rather than just on line at a Mall.
The Downtown Winter Wonderland.
Saturdays Dec. 2nd & Dec. 9th 12pm – 6pm. The courtyard will be transformed into a Winter Wonderland Village. Vendors will be selling handcrafted gifts. Plus, kid’s activities and face painting. Moreover, there will be holiday music, caroling, and ornament painting. Take the chill off at the hot chocolate station. Meanwhile the fantastic Downtown Toms River businesses will be open to help you find that perfect gift for your special someone.
