MADISON, Wis. — The sights of the holidays returned to the Edgewater Hotel in downtown Madison Friday evening as special guests Santa and Mrs. Claus flipped the switch to light up the hotel’s Christmas trees.
The lights went on for the holiday season shortly after 6 p.m. during the hotel’s 8th annual tree lighting ceremony.
This year’s event was a full return to its pre-pandemic form, with hours of events both indoors and outdoors before the tree lighting itself. While the outdoor events were held last year, the indoor ones were not.
“This is my favorite day of the year at the Edgewater; it is just a wonderful celebration of having families in the community come to the Edgewater and get to enjoy the indoors and the outdoors and the plaza,” Amy Supple, the hotel’s chief operating officer, said. “It just means so much to be fully back and celebrating this day.”
Friday’s event kicks off the holiday season at the hotel. Supple said the ice rink is set to open in a couple of weeks and other events will follow.
