Shrewsbury, MO, November 30, 2025 - The Shrewsbury Parks and Recreation Department invites residents and visitors to kick off the holiday season at Shrewsbury: It’s Home for the Holidays, Tree Lighting Ceremony on Friday, December 5 at the Shrewsbury City Center (5200 Shrewsbury Ave). This beloved annual celebration begins at 6:30 PM and is free to the public.
