Santa with his magic, and some help from the crowd, lit the City’s Christmas tree.
Mayor Yvonne Spicer and mayor-elect Charlie Sisitsky were in attendance.
City Councilor Janet Leombruno, School Committee Chair Adam Freudberg, and District 5 School Committee member Priscila Sousa were also seen in the crowd.
Children could get a free book, and tour the winter wonderland-themed bookmobile from the Framingham Public Library.
There were cookies and hot cocoa were available
Holiday music played, but no pictures with Santa this year, due to COVID-19.
