Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony: Prairie Village

Celebrate the start of the holiday season with friends, family and neighbors at the 34^th annual Prairie Village Mayor’s Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony! The tree lighting is sponsored by the Prairie Village Foundation, the City of Prairie Village, and Corinth Square Shops.

This year’s ceremony is Thursday, November 21 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Corinth Square. Kick off the start of the season with Santa, Dancerz Unlimited, the Briarwood Elementary School choir, and special guests. Hot chocolate and treats will be provided. Corinth Square and Village Shopping Center will hold their Holiday Open Houses throughout the day and evening.

The Mayor’s Holiday Tree is lit each year to serve as a reminder of our Prairie Village community members in need. Money raised for the Mayor's Holiday Tree Fund helps deserving and qualified Prairie Village residents with utility assistance, home maintenance needs, food assistance, and other vital needs of the community. The City works with Johnson County Human Services and local charities to pinpoint specific necessities. This may mean paying an electric, gas, or water bill when a resident simply cannot. Or, it could be receiving assistance with a plumbing problem or adding a wheelchair accessible ramp to a home.

Donations for this worthwhile cause can be made to the Prairie Village Foundation, Attn: Mayor’s Holiday Tree, 7700 Mission Road, Prairie Village, KS 66208 or online at www.prairievillagefoundation.com. Or, bring your donation to the Mayor’s Holiday Tree Lighting. Your donation to the Mayor’s Tree Fund will help our neighbors spread the spirit every day of the year.
