On Saturday, Dec. 3, the Village of Royal Palm Beach hosted its annual Winter Fest celebration and tree-lighting ceremony at Commons Park. The event drew a huge crowd as residents decided to get into the holiday spirit. There were at least 20 rides and bounce houses available for young children and families. A petting zoo was also on the scene, along with food trucks. The stage was filled with performances by local dance troupes and musical groups playing holiday classics. At 6:15 p.m., the Royal Palm Beach Village Council lit up the Christmas tree in the park with help from Santa Claus. After the tree was lit, a firework show capped the day. PHOTOS BY ERIN DAVISSON
