Come See the Tree: Your Community Christmas Tree Lighting

Take a ride behind the Clydesdales in a horse-drawn wagon, watch an ice sculptor create a masterpiece with a chainsaw, warm yourself by the fire pit with some Christmas cookies and a hot beverage, and enjoy festive live music from the Lower Macungie Middle School choir. There's something for everyone - young kids will enjoy the train ride and craft tent, while older kids can shoot hockey goals or visit the photo booth. 

The main event of the night, or course, is the official lighting of the Christmas tree on Hamilton Boulevard, followed by a fireworks show.

The entire event is FREE and open to everyone, but we want to extend a special invitation to our neighbors in Trexlertown, Breinigsville, and Upper Macungie.

A note on parking: The Hamilton Street entrance will be closed during the event from 7 pm - 9 pm. If arriving during those times, please use the Mill Creek Road entrance. Our parking team will direct you to a spot. Overflow parking is available at Walmart if needed.
