## About

The fountain at City Center at Oyster Point is wrapped in a holiday light display that runs every evening from December 6 through New Year's Day. Families stroll the plaza and the surrounding Town Center sidewalks to watch the lights play around the fountain; there is no admission charge and no ticket. It follows the city's tree lighting on December 5, so the two can be seen on one evening out.
