Hoboken Lighting

Council President Emily Jabbour said in her newsletter this week, "The county will host its annual Columbus Park Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 7 (this is a new date/time due to rain last Friday) at 6 p.m. in the gazebo (Grand between Ninth and Tenth Streets). Come by for music and snacks to get in the holiday spirit! You can also bring a donation to support the Annual Sgt. Peter 'Peachy' Zanin Toy Drive with Hoboken Police Dept."
