Light Up Eustis Brings Fun Holiday Activities…and SNOW!
On Friday, November 29, The City of Eustis will host the 37th Annual Light-Up Eustis event, from 5 – 9 p.m. in Ferran Park. The free event will include live entertainment, snow flurries, food trucks, craft vendors and the annual arrival of Santa Claus.
The Ceremonial Tree Lighting will be at 6 p.m. in Ferran Park. Attendees are invited to join in the countdown ceremony to watch the 50 ft Christmas tree come to life. A quieter tree lighting will happen simultaneously on the Christmas tree in Downtown Eustis. Immediately following the tree lighting, Santa will arrive and snow flurries will begin in Ferran Park. The snow flurries will continue throughout the night for ten-minute intervals every half hour.
Win One Ministries will be performing at 5:30 p.m. on the stage in Pocket Park. At 7 p.m. the “Jazzy Bublé Christmas” concert starring tribute artist Rome Saladino will begin on the Alice McClelland Bandshell Stage.
This year, a new family area will be added to the greenspace at Clifford Ave. and Eustis Street. The area will feature a bounce house, snow maze, photo opportunities, roaming entertainment, and more.
