Dyer's annual Holiday Tree Lighting glows Friday, Dec 4, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m., kicking off the town's holiday season.
Dyer lights up for the season on Friday, Dec 4, 2026, when the town's annual Holiday Tree Lighting runs 6 to 8 p.m. Dyer Parks & Recreation hosts the evening around Central Park, gathering neighbors for the countdown, the glow of the tree, and the start of the holiday season in town. It is a classic small-town December night: warm layers, hot drinks, and the whole community out together. Because the tree lighting lands on a Friday, it is an easy way to open the weekend, and a quick drive past Meyer's Castle on the way home adds a little storybook glow to the evening.
