Downtown Clayton is welcoming families and friends for a night of holiday celebration. Join us for the Town’s annual Christmas Village and Tree Lighting from 5 – 8 p.m., Thursday, December 4 along Main Street. This event, which runs from Horne Square to Town Square, is free and open to the public.
Everyone is invited to experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of the season. Enjoy a lively open house with local businesses, twinkling light displays, live performances, and holiday treats around every corner. Kids can hop on a trackless train ride, snap photos in the giant inflatable snow globe, meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, and get creative with glitter tattoos and seasonal crafts.
The evening culminates with the lighting of the Town of Clayton Christmas Tree at 7:15 p.m. in Town Square. Continuing a cherished tradition, Mayor Jody McLeod and the rest of the Town will be joined by the 2025 Christmas Spirit Award winner to help count down to the big moment, creating a special experience for the whole community.
Clayton’s Christmas Village and Tree Lighting is known for bringing the community together, highlighting local businesses, and welcoming the holiday season with warmth, lights, and music.
