Andover’s Hometown Christmas event will take place on Thursday, December 11, 4:30 – 8 p.m. in Central Park. The entire family will enjoy hay rack rides, children’s activities, s’mores with first responders, photos with Santa, hot beverages, and so much more.

This year, the tree lighting ceremony will take place at 6 p.m. Among the activities, the annual light show, coordinated with the music at the Capitol Federal Amphitheater®, will also be available for guests to enjoy.

The Hometown Christmas event is not only fun for families but also benefits the entire community.
