The East Granby High School Chorus will lead us in a community sing-along, the winners of our K-5 "Shine a Light on Community" Essay Contest will lead the count down & turn on the tree lights. *See EastGranbyRec.com for info re: the Essay Contest.*
Immediately following the tree lighting ceremony, join us in the Senior/ Community Center for free cookies, hot cocoa, photo ops and festive activities!
Have you written your letter to Santa yet? East Granby Youth Services High School Youth Action Council will have a special North Pole mailbox at the event for any child who would like to send their letter to Santa. Supplies will also be available if your child has not had a chance to write their letter. Be sure they include their name and return address so Santa and his elves can write back to them!
This is a free town event, but we do ask that you consider bringing a new, unwrapped toy to donate to the CT State Police and EG Resident Troopers' "Stuff-a-Cruiser" toy drive. All toys will be donated to a local domestic violence family shelter.
For the fourth year in a row, we will be lighting up the town campus with luminaries purchased in memory of loved ones who have passed. Luminaries can be purchased online at EastGranbyRec.com and they are $5 per luminary or $20 for five. You will be given the opportunity to leave a message that will be transposed onto a luminary by our volunteers, and then then be placed around the Town Campus for the evening.
Luminaries can also be purchased in-person at the Town Hall First Selectwoman's Office or in the East Granby Parks & Recreation Office at East Granby Farms, during regular business hours.
Any profit made from the sale of luminaries will be donated to the Resident Troopers' Office to purchase items for their Stuff-a-Cruiser toy drive.
The annual tree lighting is in memory of Jacky Welsh, a young woman who lived in East Granby and loved seeing her community come together. Join us in taking time out of the hustle and bustle of the season to come together to remember, to celebrate, and to enjoy our wonderful community.
Please call the Parks and Recreation Office at (860) 653-7660 if you have any questions.
