Paris’ annual Christmas Tree Lighting has been set for Nov. 22, 2025, with fun for the whole family, including a special appearance from Santa and Mrs Clause.
The event starts at 4 p.m. with live music beginning at 5 p.m. with performances by Paris New Generation Choir – Brandarius Dilliard- Choir Director & Tony Boss- Music Director, the Abby Merrit Band, Darren Roberts, Shannon Jones and Audrey Hobbs. Dance performances by Britney Drake Studio follow.
The Main Street Advisory Board will be serving hot chocolate and popcorn with donations benefiting holiday activities throughout the season.
At 6 p.m., Mayor Mihir Pankaj will welcome attendees and lead the official countdown to the 2025 tree lighting.
Don’t miss the “Rein Steer,” a Texas-style twist on the holiday reindeer, sponsored in part by the Paris Downtown Association.
Families can stop by the plaza between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. to take a fun holiday photo with the Rein Steer.
