Village of Merrick Park kicks off the joyous season with its most beloved of free events, its annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 6:30pm. For the second time, VMP is environmentally friendly by lighting its 50-foot tree with 55,000 LED light bulbs. The Master of Ceremonies for this magical night will be Lisa Petrillo, Entertainment Correspondent of CBS-4 News.
Festivities will include a musical performance by the Coral Gables High School Choir and a holiday greeting from Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer, and other character favorites. Throughout The Garden live entertainment including stilt walkers and jugglers will take place. Other children’s activities include a sugar cookie decoration station and refreshments provided by Whole Foods Market Coral Gables.
Gather your family around the breath-taking tree for your first memorable photograph of the season. The tree will be lit at approximately 7:30pm. Bring an unwrapped gift to donate to The Voices for Children Foundation, an organization dedicated to raising funds for abused and neglected children in Miami-Dade County.
