Holiday Express will be rocking the streets with all of your favorite tunes plus plenty of special guests starting at 7p.m. But you may want to come early to get a good spot and to hear and see the youth band of the Monmouth Conservatory.
The holiday lights throughout town will be lit for the first time this season during the concert. The LIVE countdown will be around 8 p.m.

Santa rides the NJ Transit train into Red Bank for the annual Town Lighting & Holiday Express concert. Join Santa on the train in Little Silver or meet him at the Red Bank train station when he arrives. There’ll be festivities before and after the train arrives with the Holiday dancers and the Pipes and Drums of the Atlantic Watch. Once in Red Bank, Santa will board a firetruck and lead the parade to Broad Street for the Holiday Express Concert & Town Lighting.
Festivities for Santa Express will begin at around 5:30 p.m. at the Red Bank Train Station — a scheduled arrival at 6:44 p.m. Meanwhile, the Holiday Express concert is slated to begin at 7:00 p.m. down by Broad Street at Canal Street.
