Holiday in the Park had snacks, singing and, of course, Santa.
Held annually at Shipyard Park, the event brings together hundreds of residents to celebrate the season. Local restaurants provide food to sample, there is face painting and coloring for kids, and Christmas music from The Occasion Singers and student musicians.
At 4:30 p.m. everyone gathered to see the tree lights go on for the first time.
The tree was decorated with ornaments and wishes from Mattapoisett elementary students.
