Join us as the RomeRock Association kicks off the holiday season with our Inaugural Tree Lighting on Saturday, November 28, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at the Kathy Crandall Entertainment Pavilion.

Members are invited to help make this first tree lighting a lasting community tradition by bringing a weatherproof ornament that represents their household to hang on the tree. Get creative! Ornaments can represent your family, your home, your favorite lake activity or simply something that makes Roaming Shores special to you. Please do not bring glass or paper ornaments, as the tree will remain outdoors throughout the holiday season.

The afternoon will include hot cocoa, holiday music and community socializing as we gather together to welcome the holidays at Lake Roaming Rock. After sunset, we’ll gather for the countdown and light the tree for the first time!

Bring your ornament, bundle up and join us at the Pavilion for this new Roaming Shores holiday tradition!
