The annual tree lighting ceremony took place from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. with Mayor Paul Medany and his “holiday” council (which included Buddy the Elf and the Grinch) celebrating the season with more than one hundred residents.

There were refreshments, a projection TV screen showing holiday specials, photos with Santa Claus, and Christmas carols sung by the Deptford Township High School choir.

Here are some photos from the event:
