Join us as we light not one but two towering Christmas trees at the heart of Center City tomorrow, November 29th! Starting at 4pm-Make your way to Dilworth Plaza in front of City Hall where we’ll have arts and craft activities for the little ones who will be able to take home their very own ornament.s When the clock strikes 5, the honorable Mayor John F. Street will engage everyone in a countdown to light our first tree as the sounds of the Christmas holiday come alive!

The soulful cast of Ain’t Misbehavin who will be featured at the Prince Music Theater will perform, as well as a choir provided by The Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. Bring your cameras because I heard thee Miss Philadelphia (ooooh!) will make an appearance. The celebration isn’t over yet because we still have the lighting of the second Christmas tree at Love Park! Members of the Community Classic Theater Company, CCTC, will have their annual Readers Theater Presentation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and have plenty of goodies to share with the crowd.

I’m not finished yet! Once the ceremonies have ended, dash over to Macys at 13th Market to enjoy warm apple cider and cocoa with the sounds of the Philadelphia Boys Choir. Great way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?
