Share The Joy of the Season Dec 12, 2023

by | Dec 5, 2023 | Events Committee

Lights, holiday song, snacks, cookies and drinks — Midtown’s annual holiday party returns to the Pocket Park for 2023!

Special holiday lights and decor will grace the park courtesy of City Council funds from James Spadola and Michelle Harlee. Rather than traveling to sing carols, we will gather in the park to sing carols (or hum, or just enjoy!)

Set-up is planned for 6:30PM. Snacks and sodas, and we hope cider and hot chocolate will be served, please bring a thermos or cup to save styro. Neighbors are asked to bring a favorite holiday cookie or other treat to share. BYO adult beverages for yourself or to share, and chairs if you wish. There will be heat, friends, and fun to brighten up the night!
