## About

Lavallette's free tree lighting at Borough Hall, described as a classic, family-friendly evening. Santa pays a visit, and there is hot cocoa along with Mueller's well-known sugar cookies as the lights come on. A short and sweet holiday gathering that suits families with young children who want to see Santa and the tree glow.
