To support the Revere Public School students benefitting from this scholarship fund, residents are invited to join Mayor Keefe on a float during the Santa Parade, and they can register at www.revere.org/santawalk or by sending a $20.00 donation to @CityofRevereMA on Venmo with the memo “Santa Parade.” Direct donations to the fund can also be made without participation in the parade.

At the Tree Lighting, Santa Claus will make his annual visit to Revere to light the City Hall Tree and take photos with children. There will also be family activities, including inflatables, cookie decorating, a trackless train and reindeer rides.

“There’s no better way to ring in the spirit of the season, than celebrating with our community for one of Revere’s greatest traditions: the Tree Lighting,” said Mayor Keefe. “This year, we’ve added more fun by incorporating the Priscilla Nickerson Memorial Scholarship Santa Parade. Make sure to join in on the holiday fun this season with us!”
