The Downtown Vero Beach Tree Lighting Festival is a festive event hosted by the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce. It features a variety of activities, including kids crafts, bubbles, “snow” play, food trucks, and photo opportunities with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Throughout the event, musical performances set the tone for the evening, culminating in the much-anticipated tree lighting at dusk. Afterward, the community gathers for a holiday movie on the green, encouraging attendees to bring blankets and chairs. This event marks the beginning of the holiday season for the community, providing a fun and family-friendly atmosphere for all.
