North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the town board, along with the Manhasset Chamber of Commerce, the Manhasset Park District, and the Manhasset Lakeville Fire & Water District, announced that the Annual Manhasset Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held on Friday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. at Mary Jane Davies Green in Manhasset. The event is expected to attract hundreds of local residents to celebrate the kickoff to the holiday season.
The community-wide program will feature the Pledge of Allegiance led by the Manhasset American Legion and Manhasset VFW, a blessing from local clergy, a performance from the Manhasset High School Marching Band, and awards for the Manhasset Chamber of Commerce Poster Contest winners. Santa will arrive by firetruck, courtesy of the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department, following the tree lighting.
“It’s pretty special that we still have this small-town feel right here in our own backyard. We kick off the Christmas season with the whole neighborhood and you can feel the excitement whether you’re young or old,” Supervisor DeSena said. “I’m thankful to all who play a part in making this kind of magic happen.”
All Town of North Hempstead residents are welcome. Mary Jane Davies Green is located on Plandome Road across from Town Hall at 220 Plandome Road in Manhasset.
