The Greater Northern Lehigh Chamber, proud partner of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, is gearing up for a memorable 2023 holiday season with their annual tree lighting ceremony in Slatington, PA.<\/p>\n
The event will take place on Friday, December 1, 2023 from 5:00-7:00 PM and is free and open to the public. Prior to the event from 4:00-5:00 PM, attendees are encouraged to stop by the Slatington Library for stories with Mrs. Claus, before heading down to the festivities at Veterans Memorial Park (509 Main Street, Slatington), which kick off from 5-7 PM.<\/p>\n
The event will feature festive holiday performances from Slatington Elementary School and Rhythm and Sole Dance Studio, as well as complimentary hot chocolate and popcorn for participants.

Buddy the Elf will make an appearance, as well as Santa Claus himself (arriving at 6:30 PM to light the tree). Opportunities to take pictures with Santa will be available for those in attendance once the tree is lit.<\/p>\n
