Danvers Historical Society's Parade Of Trees Marches On In 2022

DANVERS, MA — Five days of holiday viewing and the raffling of 38 decorated trees and wreaths marked another highly successful Parade of Trees for the Danvers Historical Society.

The 14th annual fundraiser included the viewing — both in person and online — at Tapley Hall and the drawing on Dec. 4.

"The success of this Historical Society fundraiser was all made possible by the businesses, families, clubs, and organizations that donated the creatively decorated trees and wreaths," Danvers Historical Society Trustee At-Large Laura Cilley said.

Local musicians who performed included Darren Muise, Kaelin Hampe, Luke Dumouchel, Paco, and the Danvers High School Sax Quintet. There was also an ornament scavenger hunt and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.

"No event of this size would be possible without corporate sponsors," Cilley said. "Without them and the help of dedicated volunteers, it would not have been the success that it was."

The silver-level sponsor was Salem Five Bank and the bronze sponsors were Atlantic Semiconductor, Coffee Time Bake Shop, Ledvance and Ira Toyota.
