Annual Tree and Menorah Lighting Cancelled

Merchant Block Tree Lighting and Menorah Lighting Cancelled

Santa and organizers have decided to cancel both the annual public Christmas tree lighting as well as the annual public Menorah lighting. The decision to cancel was difficult and came after much thought and consideration for the safety of the community.

There will be no official gatherings this year; however Morris Plains will still be festively decorated. Both the Christmas tree and Menorah candle will still be on display and lit throughout the holiday season along with the usual holiday displays throughout town.

Although Santa will not be able to make his usual grand entrance at the tree lighting, he will still be making an appearance in Morris Plains on Sunday, December 20th . On that day the Morris Plains Volunteer Fire Department will have an opportunity to drive Santa on a fire truck around town, like they have in the past, to bring the Christmas spirit to the “Community of Caring”.
