One of the City of Pearland’s signature events, the Hometown Christmas Festival, will make its return to Pearland on Friday, December 6 through Saturday, December 7. The event will be held at Pearland Town Center, located at 11200 Broadway, and is a free event for the community.

Feel the Christmas spirit come alive as Pearland Parks & Recreation unites with Pearland Town Center to host the City’s annual Christmas celebration! Join us for an exciting weekend of Christmas entertainment, the joyous sounds of holiday music, fun in the snow, the arrival of Santa Claus and the celebratory lighting of our gorgeous 30-foot tall Christmas tree!

The festivities kick off on Friday evening at 7 p.m. as Pearland’s Mayor Tom Reid and Jolly ol’ Saint Nick lead the City’s Tree Lighting Ceremony. The festival continues into the weekend with a variety of holiday programming. This year’s event will feature the return of hometown favorites such as the holiday gift market, horse-drawn carriage rides, strolling entertainment, a Winter Wonderland play area for children, Santa’s arrival and the Tree Lighting. On Saturday, enjoy Breakfast with Santa and seasonal shopping in the holiday gift market.
