Village at Leesburg Celebrates the Holidays with an Interactive Wish Tree, Donations to Loudoun Hunger Relief, Santa and More!

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 10 2021—Village at Leesburg (located on Route 7 just east of Leesburg, Va.,) kicks off the holidays on Saturday, November 20 from 4-8pm with its annual tree lighting ceremony featuring the property’s new Wish Tree (the only interactive holiday tree of its kind on the East Coast.) Once someone makes an online donation of $1 or more, they’ll receive a digital token to take to the tree where they can make a wish and activate the Wish Tree light show. All donations will go to Loudoun Hunger Relief, an organization helping to end food insecurity throughout the community.
The tree will be available for wishes from 5-9 p.m. daily through December 25. In addition, at the top of every hour from 4 to 10 p.m., the tree will feature a dazzling light show.

Santa will visit the Village at Leesburg every Saturday from 5-8 p.m. starting November 27 through December 18 where he’ll be available for photos.

A unique pop-up market, MADE Market, features an indoor art fair shopping experience with access to exclusive artisans and craftsmen from the local area. In addition to a wide array of beautiful one-of-a-kind handmade gifts, the market showcases various artists demonstrating their crafts. Attendees can sign up for a free “make and take” class every weekend. Items on display change throughout the season. The market, officially located at 1609 Village Market Blvd., S.E., Suite 110, is open every Thursday through Sunday through January 2 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

On Sunday, December 12 from 2 to 3 p.m, Village at Leesburg presents Tuba Christmas with an hour of music by community tuba players.

“This holiday season, we’re providing visitors to Village at Leesburg with an array of fun, memorable experiences,” said Susan Bourgeois, executive director of Leasing & Brokerage at Rappaport, the company that owns, manages and leases Village at Leesburg. “Not only will they be able to shop and dine, visit with Santa, make a wish at our Wish Tree, shop for items made by artisans but they’ll also be able to help others in our community by donating to our charity partner, Loudoun Hunger Relief.”
