What a joy it is to usher in the spirit of the season with friends and family in Fairview’s newly christened town square park next to the firehouse. This is the biggest and best decorated Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Oscoda County and beyond.

This year’s event takes place Friday evening, Dec. 3, with the special Christmas tree lighting ceremony in the park at 5:30 p.m. The lighting ceremony will be followed immediately by an evening serenade from our local choir, hot chocolate under the stars and an evening of extraordinary events and food sponsored by the four corners businesses that comprise our quaint and friendly village of light.

For the kids, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on hand to welcome the community into their Yuletide embrace. There are even rumors of a reindeer or two.

So don’t be a Grinch. ’Tis the season to behold the lights of Fairview!
