The Northborough Community Affairs Committee is pleased to host the 2024 Northborough Annual Tree Lighting this coming Saturday, December 7th at 5pm on Blake Street. This year’s celebration will include the lighting of the tree, a performance by the Northborough 5th Grade Unified Chorus and an acknowledgment of the town Menorah (which will be lit during Hanukkah on 12/30). During the event, complimentary hot cocoa, cookies, pizza, candy canes and jingle bells will be passed out (while supplies last).
This annual lighting of the tree began in 1968 in honor of the memory of Neil Ellsworth, an Army private first class, who was killed in Vietnam in 1967 at the age of 19. He will be honored during this special evening.
There will also be a toy collection for Toys for Tots and a food collection for the Northborough Food Pantry taking place. Thank you to the event sponsors which include Northborough House of Pizza, Wegmans and Starbucks.
