SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — South Orange’s Seton Village Committee is hosting “Light Up the Holidays in Seton Village!” for the third year. This year, the tree lighting and celebration will be Saturday, Dec. 3.
“As we mark the third year of focused work toward our mission in Seton Village, it is wonderful to celebrate with this event, which truly has something for everyone,” Doug Zacker, chairperson of the Seton Village Committee, said in a press release. “The tree lighting is the culmination of all the work our volunteers have done to beautify the corridor and make it a destination for shoppers, restaurant-goers, Seton Hall University students and neighborhood residents alike.”
The celebration, which is free and open to the public, will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and will be held in and around the pocket park at Irvington and West Fairview avenues in the Seton Village neighborhood of South Orange. The lighting of the 20-foot tree that borders the park will take place just after the arrival of the evening’s special guest, Santa Claus, who will also be available for picture-taking.
In addition to a large variety of activities for children, hosted by Work and Play, the event will feature music from a variety of local entertainers, including a performance from Seton Hall University’s a cappella group The Gentlemen of the Hall, a preview of an upcoming children’s show from interACT Theater Productions, and the crowd-pleasing stylings of Columbia High School’s a cappella group Unaccompanied Minors.
Refreshments will be provided; Seton Village T-shirts will be available for purchase at the event, and local restaurants will feature specials offers and discounts.
