This Friday, Santa will be stopping by Palmyra for a visit
The night of Palmyra’s holiday tree lighting on Dec. 7 begins with Santa’s ride through town with Palmyra’s Independence Fire Department. Between 5 and 5:30 p.m., he will be taking off from the firehouse aboard one of the trucks and making his way through Palmyra. His route will be posted on the borough’s website at boroughofpalmyra.com before the big night.
At 7 p.m., Santa will arrive at Grove Park next to the Municipal Building on Broad Street where the Christmas tree will be waiting. Mayor Michelle Arnold will be there to light up the tree and kick off the holiday season. Palmyra High School’s band will also be there providing Christmas music to get everyone in the spirit.
“Hopefully the community can all get together and celebrate what we have and what we can help each other with. Palmyra is such a giving town, it’s the whole point of starting off the holiday season” said Councilwoman Gina Tait.
Santa will be available for pictures after the tree lighting at the community center next door. Inside the community center there will be stations featuring fun activities for kids, such as reindeer horseshoes, reindeer bowling and a reading of “Polar Express.” Hot cocoa and cookies will be available for anyone who needs to warm up after the night air.
