Perkasie’s 116th Tree Lighting Ceremony – America’s Oldest

Families can expect a traditional evening out, with holiday music, food and fun. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus will arrive on a Perkasie Electric Truck to light the Christmas tree at 7pm and one lucky child will be chosen to climb on the stage to help Santa light the tree; bring a non-perishable food item for Pennridge FISH to enter the drawing. The drawing is at 6:30 pm, followed by Santa’s arrival at 7 pm.

Perkasie’s ceremony began in 1909 and was officially recognized as the oldest in the the country in 2015, when it was read into the Congressional Record by Congressman Michael Fitzpatrick.
