Northport has put its annual holiday tree lighting on the calendar for Saturday, November 28, the first Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Northern Leelanau Community Businesses lists the date and describes the ceremony as a gathering around the village’s downtown Christmas tree.

Start with the organizer’s schedule

The announcement directs visitors to its Facebook event for updates. Check it before choosing an arrival time, particularly if you are arranging a ride or meeting relatives coming from another town.

The organizer’s page also points readers to the Northport Nutcrackers website. That is a separate place to check for details about finding the figures around town.

Confirm the two schedules separately before promising children that both activities will be available during the same visit.

If you’re planning a meal around the ceremony, check the restaurant’s hours directly. A village event date does not establish when individual businesses will be open.

For a short family outing, pick a downtown meeting point and dress for time spent outdoors after dark. Send everyone the organizer’s link so they can see the latest details before leaving home.
