Around the Square

December 18, 2025

Ring in the New Year with one of Kennett Square’s most iconic traditions - Midnight in the Square, a beloved community celebration centered around the famous Sparkling Mushroom.

This year’s lineup is packed with incredible entertainment, including live bands, stage performances, lasers, and a photo booth—all starting at 7 PM.

Pro Tip - Families who want to put kids to bed before midnight, don't miss the Early Raise—around 8:50 PM, the giant Mushroom will be lifted 80 feet into the air (weather permitting), offering a magical moment for kids and anyone young at heart.

DON’T MISS Tinsel on the Town TONIGHT, Thursday, December 18th from 5:00–8:00 PM! 🎄✨ This festive community event is FREE to attend and features an ADA-accessible passenger train, holiday magic, and hands-on fun. DIY your own tinsel hat and join the NEW Tinsel Hat Competition—open to kids and adults—where guest judges will crown the most creative and festive designs. We’ll also announce the winners of the Holiday Window Tour, so be sure to stroll the town and vote for your favorite decorated storefront. It’s a night full of sparkle, creativity, and holiday cheer you won’t want to miss!
