Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

From Community Director
Thank you to all our residents and families who joined Mayor Kahwaty, Council Members, the Community Director, Santa and Mrs. Claus during our Annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony on December 5, 2023. The event was sponsored by the Borough of Franklin Lakes, the Franklin Lakes Library, and the Franklin Lakes Mayors Wellness Campaign.

We welcomed our "special visitors" from the North Pole, Franklin Avenue Middle School (FAMS) Choir, and The Village Carolers. Following the tree lighting, all were invited to continue the festivities, take a photo as you sit next to Mr. and Mrs. Claus in the Gazebo and all the good boys and girls told Santa what they’d like for Christmas. Goodie bags filled with Christmas gifts from The Franklin Lakes Parks and Recreation Foundation, the Mayors Wellness Campaign, Columbia Bank, the Library and Access Storage were distributed and refreshments were served by the Market Basket and Kara Kakes. View the photo album.
