Join the community at the corner of Viking Ave and Lindvig Way, by the Viking statue and ring in the holiday season during the annual Poulsbo tree lighting ceremony Friday, Nov. 29

Beginning at 5 p.m. there will be free food and drinks along with holiday-inspired arts and crafts.

At 6 p.m. gather around the tree as it lights up the night sky, then head on over to Hudsons Auto Center for a celebration.

Also, kids (and kids at heart) should be on their best behavior as the big man in red himself, Santa Claus will be making an appearance and taking photos.
