About this adventure
The Town of Morrisville invites Triangle families to its annual Holiday Tree Lighting and Winter Craft Market at the Town Hall campus and Indian Creek Trailhead. The celebration features the lighting of the municipal evergreen tree, live multicultural holiday songs and choral performances by local youth groups, trackless holiday train rides, visits and photo opportunities with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and complimentary hot chocolate and cookies. Children can visit family craft tents to decorate wooden holiday ornaments, write letters to the North Pole, and explore a seasonal market featuring handcrafted gifts from local Triangle makers, followed by festive lawn games and illuminated displays along the greenway. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Paved concrete sidewalks, flat plaza spaces, and paved greenway trails connect all activity zones, providing barrier-free access for strollers and wagons. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Morrisville Town Hall offers heated indoor public restrooms with baby changing stations; quiet bench seating is available along the Indian Creek Trailhead greenway. • Age Suitability: Welcoming to all ages, especially families with babies, toddlers, and elementary-school children who can comfortably participate in the free train rides and craft activities. • Sensory Tips: The event provides a warm, intimate neighborhood setting without overwhelming crowds. Sound levels from youth performances are moderate, and children can step onto the adjacent wooded trail for quiet.
