Festivities start at 5 PM with festive treats, live music and a special keepsake for guests, and the tree is lit at 5:30 PM. After the lighting, children can walk through the inside of the giant tree. The event is indoors, so it works in any weather, and it is an easy add-on to a visit with Santa at the mall's Arctic Clipper photo set. ## Similar picks in Providence - [Holiday Lights Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo](https://grassyknees.com/providence/activities/holiday-lights-spectacular-at-roger-williams-park-zoo--listing-6fcc1a1917899ef1394f43cc) — Nov 27 – Jan 3 · 5:00 PM – 9:30 PM · Roger Williams Park Zoo · All ages · From $13 · checked Oct 24.
