Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony & Activities
On Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 6:00 p.m., the Atlantic Avenue Local Development Corporation will host the Annual Atlantic Avenue Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Belarusan Church, corner of Atlantic Avenue and Bond Street, in downtown Brooklyn’s charming Boerum Hill neighborhood.
The annual tree lighting ceremony, sponsored by Marathon Bank, is a popular holiday event bringing people together from the neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Downtown Brooklyn and Boerum Hill along and around the stretch of Atlantic Avenue running from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue.
Caroling, Treats and Music from Rolie Polie Guacomole
The Tree Lighting event is free and open to the public with complimentary holiday treats provided by local Atlantic Avenue restaurants and shops.
Atlantic Avenue’s annual tree lighting ceremony and activities will feature students from P.S. 38 and 261 who will lead guests with carols and performances. The children’s musical group, Rolie Polie Guacamole, will be a delightful addition. Santa Claus will also make a guest appearance to participate in the festivities, greet children and receive their Dear Santa letters. In keeping with tradition, Council Member David Yassky will again join the festivities to officiate the tree lighting.
