The Northborough Community Affairs Committee is pleased to present the Northborough Annual Tree Lighting on Saturday, December 3 at 4:30 p.m. on the corner of Blake and Main Streets. This year’s celebration will include the lighting of the tree, an acknowledgment of our town Menorah (which will be lit during Hanukkah) and a performance by the Northborough 5th Grade Unified Chorus. During the event, hot cocoa, cookies, pizza and candy canes 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 the event.
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 MetroWest Painting, Northborough House of Pizza and Wegmans.
