The City of Taunton's Lighting of the Green & Lights On Festival is an annual celebration featuring live entertainment and activities at more than 30 entertainment sites within the downtown neighborhood. The historic Taunton Green is transformed into a magical display of holiday lights and music to delight the senses. 2023 marks the 110th Lighting of the Taunton Green and the City of Taunton, known as The Christmas City, is excited to welcome visitors from near and far to celebrate this beloved community tradition.
The Christmas City AFTER the Lights On Festival
During the month of December, after the Festival, the Christmas City has much to offer visitors & locals!
Visitors can enjoy the holiday lights display on the Taunton Green through New Years Day. Stroll around for the best views (parking is free downtown nights & weekends). Driving by the display in the car is also a great way to enjoy it! Don't forget to roll down your windows to hear the music.
Santa is in his house on the Taunton Green on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays from 5-8 PM. Pictures are complimentary and you may also bring your own camera.
New for 2023, Victorian Carolers will be strolling on the Taunton Green on Friday & Saturday evenings. Stay tuned for the schedule.
Many downtown businesses decorate their storefronts for our annual Holiday Window Decorating Contest. Stroll the downtown and enjoy the festive window displays.
The decorations are not just on the Taunton Green! Enjoy decorations along Main Street, at Liberty & Union Park (78 Main Street), and at Memorial Fountain on Church Green.
