November 13, 2025

HUNTSVILLE – The “most wonderful time of the year” rolls into Bridge Street with the annual tree lighting, visits from Santa, music, and, of course, shopping.

The retail center is lit Friday with Lights Up!, its annual kick-off of the holiday season, presented by the University of North Alabama Foundation.

Lights Up features performances from the Alabama Youth Ballet Theatre, local choir groups, giveaways, holiday characters and more.

Then, Santa will join at the end of the ceremony to light the 45-foot Christmas tree and launch the light show Friday and Saturday nights.

Santa will be available at Bridge Street Town Center from Nov. 28 through Dec. 24 for photos with the family. Guests are invited to bring their furry friends night every Tuesday from 4-7 p.m. for photos. Photo sessions are available to book by visiting here. Walk-ups are welcome.
