Circle of Trees Celebration:
November 21st 5:30pm
 
The Circle of Trees Celebration brings the community together at the start of the holiday season. Join your friends and neighbors at Woodmere for the annual Circle of Trees Celebration. Festivities start at 5:30 p.m., and you can enjoy hot chocolate and cookies, music, goodie bags for the kids, and a visit from (shhhhh!) Santa too, who arrives on a fire truck. Together we count down to the lighting of the Art Museum and Christmas trees.  Show that Chestnut Hill cares – give a toy, share a book, and feel the joy. Come to the event with a new, unwrapped toy or a new book to donate to a school-aged child. Like most CHCA activities it is free to the public.
