The 2021 holiday season was magical at Weston Town Center. The community gathered in the spirit of the season, regardless of faith. Families filled the streets for the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, which included a visit from Santa Claus, as well as the annual Menorah Lighting. City leaders and VIP’s helped the Chabad of Weston light the giant menorah. Weston Town Center also played host to several community and cultural events such as Weston’s Hometown July 4th Parade, Celebrate the Arts Day, and the free outdoor pops concert.

Onstage, international artists brought instrumentals, dance and drum performances throughout the event. Attendees loved the return of Ronin Taiko, an acclaimed Japanese taiko drum ensemble which has wowed past audiences, as well as new acts such as the Paraguayan bottle dance.

Families picnicked with loved ones in socially-distanced areas while watching wholesome movies under the stars. Our favorite was the The Croods.
