Hometown Holiday

Join us on Saturday, December 7 for Hometown Holiday! The annual celebration kicks off with Santa at the firehouse taking pictures with the kids. Santa will be there with his elves from 1:30 to 4:30 pm. Around 5 pm, the MCM Marching Trombones will lead all the little elves (your kids) in an Elf Parade up South Orange Ave., where the annual tree lighting ceremony will take place at 5:15 at the PNC Building (76 South Orange Ave.). There will be live music and a dance performance by Maria Priadka School of Dance, cookies and hot chocolate, and fun will be had by all!
We encourage kids to bring jingle bells or anything to ring or shake along with the music as the Elf Parade heads up S.O. Ave.
