New Hope Annual Christmas Tree Lighting

Come together for New Hope’s beloved Annual Christmas Tree Lighting, a cherished tradition that has brightened the heart of the town for over 40 years at the corner of S. Main St. and Ferry St. Gather with friends, family, and neighbors for an evening filled with holiday spirit, festive melodies, and the comforting aromas of hot chocolate, warm apple cider, and fresh cookies—all while awaiting Santa’s grand arrival. It’s a night to make new memories, share in the joy of the season, and celebrate the close-knit community that makes New Hope so special. This event is proudly presented by the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce and the Logan Inn.
Please consider bringing an unwrapped toy for the Fisherman’s Mark Toy Drive, located at the Logan Inn, to help bring holiday cheer to families in need.
