The Kiwanis Club of Keene requested permission to use city property for its annual tree lighting ceremony, a community holiday tradition.
Planning, Licenses and Development Committee - Oct 7, 2026
The Kiwanis Club will run the tree lighting November 27 with road closures, free parking, and new white lights staying up through mid-February. One merchant concern: streets close too early and hurt business — a fix will be explored next year.
