Patriot Place’s Annual Holiday Giving Tree Lighting

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.  – Due to forecasted inclement Saturday evening, Patriot Place’s annual Holiday Giving Tree Lighting has been rescheduled to Tuesday, Nov. 26, with the festivities getting underway beginning at 6 p.m.

The festive family favorite will spread holiday cheer with a tree lighting countdown, appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus, holiday carolers and more. Additionally, for the third year, one lucky guest will take home $500 just in time for their holiday shopping courtesy of Santander Bank. The Holiday Giving Tree Lighting will be hosted by Karson Tager, the co-host of the Karson and Kennedy Show on Mix 104.1.

Located at the Dean College Stage outside of Bar Louie and Citizen Crust, the Holiday Tree will shine bright all season long for guests to enjoy. In the true spirit of the holidays, Patriot Place, in partnership with Cradles to Crayons, will once again have four Giving Trees surrounding the Holiday Tree. The Giving Trees feature ornaments, with each one containing a special holiday request for a child in need. Patriot Place guests are invited to take an ornament and purchase the assigned gift to fulfill a child’s wish. Gifts can be dropped off throughout the holiday season at the Patriot Place Management Office, located between Skipjack’s and Bar Louie, or at any participating Patriot Place location.

Following the Holiday Giving Tree Lighting, guests can stay in the holiday spirit at Magic of Lights. The popular drive-through holiday lights experience returns for the fourth time with the longest route ever beginning this Friday, Nov. 22 and will dazzle daily through Christmas Day. Tickets for this nostalgic and festive experience for guests of all ages start at just $25 per vehicle and additional information is available at GilletteStadium.com/events/2024-magic-of-lights/.

This weekend will also mark the first of two weekends when the pro.found Holiday Market will return to Patriot Place. The market will take place indoors at the North Marketplace on Nov. 22-24 and Dec. 6-8, bringing vintage, artisan, handmade and creative vendors together to offer guests the opportunity to buy something for everyone on their shopping list.
