This year we are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Annual Port Washington Christmas Celebration and Tree Lighting on Sunday, Dec. 4, in Blumenfeld Park on Main Street in Port Washington!
The Christmas Pageant begins at 4:30 p.m. with the Live Nativity and a reading of the Christmas Story. Immediately following the pageant is the lighting of our beautiful Christmas tree. The night’s festivities conclude with the arrival of Santa.
Music to accompany the Live Nativity and Christmas Pageant will be provided by the Liquid Bread Brass Band followed by The Red Stocking Singers and a fun and entertaining Christmas Sing-a-long.
Hot drinks and cookies will be available as well as crafts for the kids. New to the event we will have the opportunity to sponsor an angel.
The Honorees this year are Pia Haselbach and George Martin, long-time Port residents who helped to create this magical event, and are still active members of the committee today. We will also be honoring Sr. Kathy Sommerville of Our Lady of Fatima Church in Manorhaven for all she does for the community and her selfless work at the Parish Outreach and Food Pantry here in Port Washington. They will have the honor of lighting this year’s Christmas Tree.
Join this amazing event. It is a wonderful and delightful experience for all. And for our 25th Anniversary celebration-who knows what surprises there might be!
