The Edmeston Tree Lighting

11/20/2025

Saturday night is the night! The 2025 Edmeston Tree Lighting is almost here. Free hot cocoa to keep the chill away and a free cookie to go with it. Horse drawn sleigh rides, toy trains, a holiday story, dancers, bell ringers, an ornament for the tree craft table, holiday music, festival of trees, and (drum roll) Santa. It's going to be a fun night to kick off the season. Everyone is welcome and everything is free. We can't wait to see you.

Get ready to start a new holiday memory! At this year's tree lighting there will be a craft table for children to color and accessorize a wooden mitten ornament to take home. We thank Stewart's Shops and 'sholidaymatch program for their donation to help our area children create a lasting 2025 holiday memory.

The magic Santa mailbox has arrived at the EFL!
This magnificent mailbox will get your letter to Santa and he will mail a letter back to you before Christmas! Because of the craziness of the holiday season Santa requested having you letters into the mailbox by December 14!
We will have paper and markers available in the library during the Edmeston Tree Lighting so the kiddos can get their letters out to Santa that night! The Tree Lighting begins at 5:30 and ends when the tree is lit at 7pm! 🎅🏻🎄💌
