Batavia Event

Celebration of Lights on the Batavia Riverwalk

Batavia Park District's free holiday kickoff on the Riverwalk around the Peg Bond Center. The schedule lists a community sing-along at 5:15 p.m., Santa's arrival and the ceremonial tree lighting with Mayor Schielke at 5:30 p.m., and a stroll along Christmas Tree Lane, where local groups and businesses decorate trees. Kids can also see reindeer, make a holiday craft, hear holiday stories with the Batavia Public Library and visit Santa's Warming House. Hayrides are free with a food donation for the Batavia Food Pantry.
