Westland Invites Residents to Join in Holiday Cheer
Westland, MI - The City of Westland is teaming up with local dignitaries and special out-of-town guests, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, to create a holiday experience that can be enjoyed by residents and visitors, both young and old.

 

On Wednesday, December 3, 2014 Mayor Wild will be joined by Santa ad Mrs. Claus for the City's Tree Lighting Ceremony. The ceremony will be held in front of the previous City Hall, located at 36601 Ford Road at 5:30pm.


Following the Tree Lighting Ceremony, the children in the crowd can head down to the New City Hall, located at 36300 Warren Rd. for cookies and cocoa with Santa beginning at 6:30pm. Here, kids will be able to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus while enjoying refreshments and classic holiday movies. Children are invited to bring their letters to Santa and put them in Santa's Mailbox. Santa will take the letters back to the North Pole with him when he returns home.

 

At the Westland Holiday Celebration the City will be accepting non-perishable food items and toys to be donated to the Westland Goodfellows.  Collected items will be distributed this holiday season, and all items will go to families within the City of Westland.
