Christmas Tree Lighting at Blumenfeld Park

Come and join together for the 17th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting to be held this year on Sunday, December 7th at 4:30 pm at the Blumenfeld Park on Main Street in Port Washington. If you have not yet attended this special event, we encourage you to make time for it this year!

As always, a large turnout from the community is expected to enjoy the Choral Music, Live Nativity Scene and Pageant. We plan to raise our voices in song - and we hope to have many voices joining our choruses during the ceremony, singing many traditional carols of the season! Enjoy some complimentary hot drinks and refreshments. Ornaments will be available for decorating and placing on the tree.

The Pageant begins at 4:30, with a Live Nativity and a narration of the Christmas Story. Following the lighting of the Tree, there will be a performance by dancers from Danceworks. The Pageant concludes around 5:30 with the arrival of Santa who has a gift for each girl and boy.

This joyous occasion has been organized for the past 17 years by The Christmas Tree Lighting Committee made up of Port Washington residents and business owners.  Self-sustaining, the committee is fully responsible for organizing and financing the festivities.  A special thank-you goes out to the businesses and individuals who donated their services and their time for our successful raffle fundraiser in November.  Please see our Thank-You sign to our donors which will be displayed at the Tree Lighting.
