<\/p>\n
On Friday evening at 7 pm in the heart of Nazareth at the Center Circle, the festivities commence with a magical tree lighting ceremony; a lively celebration, including a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, a live performance by All Things Brielle, and greetings from local officials. A Pinch of Sugar<\/a> generously provides free hot chocolate and coffee, while whimsical holiday characters roam the area.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThis time of year, the community comes together like no other. A one-day celebration doesn\u2019t culminate the town\u2019s energy appropriately,\u201d Gasparetti continued. The celebration proceeds on Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm, offering a variety of activities for all ages. Highlights include the Elf Trail, sponsored by Truist<\/a>, with over 20 participating businesses, live performances by Nazareth School District groups, a live ice carving demonstration sponsored by Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital<\/a>, a vendor alley at the Nazareth YMCA from 10 am to 3 pm, and a shuttle service sponsored by Easton Coach Company<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New to the celebration this year \u2013 straight from the North Pole themselves \u2013 Santa\u2019s majestic reindeer are making an appearance!
