The Allentown event will include a live nativity scene with camel and sheep provided by Peaceable Kingdom Petting Zoo. Guests can also participate in a\u00a0<em>parranda<\/em> with traditional Puerto Rican caroling. Rebolcones Jeep Club and Las Motos Mamis will provide toys for children and raffle prizes while supplies last.<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of La Mega Radio and the Allentown Fire Department, free shuttles will operate from the Fire Academy parking lot at\u00a0<strong>1902 Lehigh Street<\/strong>\u00a0to the Lights entrance.<\/p>\n<p>This free event is made possible through the generous support of local sponsors and organizations, including La Mega, Rebolcones Jeep Club, ICDI, PRCP, Boris Cake, and Las Motos Mamis.
