The celebration of Christmas in Cedarhurst begins on Sunday, December 12th, at 4:00 PM. We will gather with family and friends around the traditional bonfire, eat delicious freshly roasted chestnuts and enjoy plenty of hot chocolate and cookies as we wait for our surprise visitor! Carolers from St. Joachim’s Church, St. Joseph’s Church and Our Lady of Good Counsel will lead us in songs of the season that everyone knows and loves. To top off the evening, Mayor Weinstock will continue the exciting tradition of inviting the crowd to count down to the dramatic lighting of the splendid Park Christmas tree, as Santa arrives.
For everyone’s comfort and safety, we recommend that all who attend bring masks and flashlights and use them as needed.
