The Village of Jackson Christmas Tree Lighting begins at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, December 5 at the Jackson Municipal Complex.  

Jackson Park and Rec Director Tyler Mentzel told WTKM about the holiday event. 

"It's a great holiday event, we have the Boy Scouts come out and they do a blanket drive for families in need. Santa will be there. Kids will have the opportunity to see Santa and get their wish lists in. We will also have a letter station, so kids can write their letters to Santa. Some grade school kids will be out to perform during the event.  

Their dance program will also perform, along with the Jackson School District four-year-old kindergarten.
