The published window is Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The organizer invites families to come downtown for the lighting and says more details are still coming, so the page does not yet list music, crafts, or a visit with Santa for this night. No admission fee is printed. Pocket Park is a small downtown green at the corner the city lists as Main and 1st Street, a short walk from the shops on Main Street. Dress for an outdoor evening in late November. ## Similar picks in Kansas City - [Belton Holiday Light Parade and Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting](https://grassyknees.com/kansas-city/activities/belton-holiday-light-parade-and-mayor-s-christmas-tree-lighting--listing-e8f69322f045a2c2bec86ae2) — Sat, Nov 28 · 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM · Downtown Belton Main Street (Peace Park, Main St & Chestnut St) · Free · checked Oct 16.
