Join Union Depot for their annual Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration & Movie Night on Saturday, December 7th from 5-9pm! This is a free community event and no tickets are necessary.

A large, brightly lit Christmas tree stands in a busy square at night, surrounded by a crowd. Fireworks light up the sky on either side of the tree, creating a festive and celebratory atmosphere.

The celebration will begin at 5pm with the reveal of the St. Paul Winter Carnival 2025 Button, live concert by The Mistletones and holiday activities. Enjoy complimentary hot chocolate, photo ops, craft stations and giveaways for kids.

Five people are performing on stage with microphones, standing in a line. They appear to be singing, wearing formal attire. Music stands are in front of them. The background shows a dark curtain with rows of empty chairs.

At 7pm guests will move outside to the North Plaza for the tree lighting celebration followed by a short but thrilling fireworks display and Holiday sing-a-long.

At 7:30pm warm up inside the Waiting Room with Movie Night featuring the holiday favorite, Elf! Concessions will be available for purchase, including popcorn. You are encouraged to bring blankets for extra seating. We will have chairs available.

Schedule of Events:
5pm: St. Paul Winter Carnival 2025 Button Reveal
5:30pm: Holiday performance by The Mistletones
7pm: Tree lighting ceremony
7:30pm: Movie night featuring Elf

Don’t forget to visit the European Christmas Market while you’re at Union Depot!
