Celebrate the magic of the holiday season at Spring Hill’s Hometown Holidays! Kick off the holiday season with community traditions and family-friendly activities on Friday, Dec. 6, 2024, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Spring Hill Civic Center.
The evening will start with music and the lighting of the Mayor’s Christmas Tree in the Civic Center courtyard. Then, Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive in style on a firetruck, courtesy of Johnson County Fire District No. 1, ready to take photos with the kids and spread cheer.

Hometown Holidays is a free event. We encourage attendees to bring a donation for the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund (MCTF), which benefits local organizations that provide food and utility assistance to Spring Hill residents in need. Donations will be accepted at the event in the form of cash, check, or credit card, and the goal is to raise $8,000 to support our community year-round.
