This year’s Unity Tree is the most beautiful yet: A 20-foot Douglas Fir, which was graciously donated by Mar-Jo Farms of Unger Lane, Boyertown. Volunteers dedicated countless hours to transporting, raising, and decorating the tree this year. Each year, the tree lighting event grows as more and more people come together to celebrate Unity in the Community, the theme for the tree. This year is no exception, and there are several additions to the usual schedule.

The event kicks off at 6 p.m. with live musical jams with Funky Frets and their Ukelele group. This year, there will be a children’s chorus to help with the caroling. A limited number of candles and song sheets are available for the community to join in on the singing. Boyertown Community Ambulance and Boyertown Are Fire & Rescue will be on-site to meet and greet with the kids. Magical Wonders Vacations will be providing a popcorn stand, and hotdogs will be served by The Cascino Family. A special performance by the Boyertown Legionettes will also be happening prior to the tree lighting. 

The grand finale of the one-hour event is when the community participates in the countdown to light the tree at 7 p.m. Bearianne, the mascot for the Boyertown Community and sponsored by Building a Better Boyertown, will lead the countdown, along with Santa and his special helpers. Don’t miss the chance to come together and create some holiday magic with a few hundred of your favorite neighbors.
