About this event

A lighting ceremony for one of Eastern Hokkaido's largest Christmas trees will take place at the Kushiro Children's Museum Kodomo Yugakukan. In 2026, the tree will be lit on November 28, illuminating the museum through Christmas. On the day of the event, a performance by a volunteer ensemble from the Hokkaido University of Education Kushiro Campus Symphony Wind Band is scheduled, allowing visitors to enjoy the special seasonal atmosphere along with the magical moment the lights turn on. The illuminations on the glass windows are another highlight. The lighting ceremony takes place at the 1st floor Sansan Hiroba (around the sandbox), and participation is free of charge.
