TAMPA - Hyde Park Village holds its Holiday Happening and tree lighting on Thursday, Nov. 19, starting at 5:30 p.m., according to the village's event page and the City of Tampa special events calendar. The city lists the event as free and open to the public, with no pre-registration.

The village says the evening includes live music, a performance inspired by The Nutcracker from Tampa City Ballet and visits with Santa inside Hyde House. Janelle Martinez of Great Day Live is listed as host, and the tree is set to be lit at 7:45 p.m. Part of the night's proceeds go to The Children's Dream Fund, and shops and restaurants plan special offers.

The village warns that parking fills fast on event nights and recommends rideshare.

Tampa City Ballet also performs 20 minutes of Nutcracker scenes at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at Glazer Children's Museum, 110 W. Gasparilla Plaza, then meets audience members, the museum's calendar says.
