HUNTINGTON, NY – Huntington kicked off the 2025 holiday season in dazzling fashion with two back-to-back celebrations in the heart of the village on November 29th. The evening began with the beloved Nautical Holiday Parade, where fire departments and community groups lit up New York Avenue with festive floats and maritime-themed holiday magic. Crowds lined the streets as the parade made its way into town, setting the stage for the night’s grand finale.
Immediately afterward, Wall Street transformed into a winter wonderland for the Huntington Holiday Spectacular Tree Lighting, hosted by hometown star Ralph Macchio with a special musical performance by Tyler Hilton. Families gathered beneath the towering Christmas tree as the first synchronized light show of the season illuminated the village, officially launching weeks of holiday cheer, performances, and daily light displays.
Together, these two events marked the perfect start to Huntington’s most magical time of year – and you can find all upcoming events at the Tree and townwide festivities on our Community Calendar at HuntingtonMatters.com.
