Next Saturday, Milton’s annual holiday celebration “Christmas in Crabapple” is expected to bring joy to the downtown area, according to the city’s official website. A community mainstay, the festival will take place around the Broadwell Pavilion and offers a variety of activities for both individuals and families. Broadwell Road will be restricted to traffic from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. owing to event setup and subsequent pack-down, so revelers should prepare for any delays or think of other routes.
Christmas in Crabapple begins at 2 p.m., according to the City of Milton announcement, but the excitement really gets going once Santa Claus arrives on a Milton fire truck with the Cambridge High School drumline. The locals look forward to this spectacular entrance each year. In the lead-up to one of the event’s highlights—the lighting of Milton’s traditional Christmas tree, which is anticipated to take place at 5:30 p.m. as the day fades into twilight—Santa will be available for free professional photos after his arrival. No reservations are needed, and he will be warmly seated and ready to listen to everyone’s holiday wishes.
The afternoon is jam-packed with entertainment options, including live music performances by the Milton High School chorus and former “Milton’s Got Talent” winners, as well as face painting. Activities for kids and families include making big bubbles, baking sugar cookies, and making artwork with a seasonal theme. According to the City of Milton, three food trucks—Lisa’s Creperie, Tasty Sausage, and Donut NV—will be present to satisfy the inevitable hunger that comes with participating in such activities. Moreover, local vendors Brewable and Caribou Coffee will be offering hot chocolate and coffee to ward off the chill.
In order to make this event a reality, local sponsors like the Reid Casey real estate business, known as the “Santa Sponsor,” and the “Rudolph Sponsor” Starfish Scholars of Milton have been essential. With the exception of hazardous weather, the joyous event is scheduled to take place rain or shine. According to the City of Milton statement, Milton has a full program of holiday events after Christmas in Crabapple, such as the completely booked Pancakes with Santa, Tea Party with Mrs. Claus, and the yearly Menorah Lighting at Broadwell Pavilion on December 26 at 5 p.m.
