Christmas Tree Lighting: The Grove Polar Express

Coconut Grove turns Fuller Street into a festive winter village with an evening of music, lights and family activities at The Grove Polar Express tree-lighting celebration.

Presented by the Coconut Grove BID, the event features Santa’s grand arrival during a golf cart parade, carols by the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church Choir, holiday crafts, treats, a sparkling snow zone and photo ops with Santa. The evening centers around the community tree-lighting countdown, followed by a snowfall effect that transforms the street into a holiday scene.
