Salvation Army Kettle Kickoff and Tree Lighting at Lakeside Village

Kick off the holiday season at Lakeside Village’s annual Kettle Kick-Off & Tree Lighting with The Salvation Army!

This year, we’ll debut a brand-new Christmas tree and celebrate with an evening full of holiday magic:

Live music by the Tenoroc High School Band
Special performances from Kimmy Gabriela and Jared Drake
Words from guest speaker Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd
Stilt walkers and festive surprises

And don’t miss the highlight of the night: Santa arriving in the world’s largest kettle to light the new tree!

Bring your family, take in the music and lights, and stay for dinner at one of our many kid-friendly restaurants. It’s the perfect way to start the season together.
