Holiday Treats:
Seaport Chorus Tree Lighting Ceremony at South Street Seaport
November 27, 2009 at 6:00 pm
On hand this year will be Gordon from "Sesame Street" who'll be hosting this 26th Annual Celebration.
Of course Santa himself will make an appearance via the Holiday Parade led by two marching bands: The Soul Tigers Marching Band from Brooklyn and New Jersey's Neptune High School Marching Band...as well as folks from the Big Apple Circus.
In addition, the Seaport Express Train ride will provide free train rides to kids from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, November 27 on Pier 17 adjacent to the tall ship, Peking.
Also coming to The Seaport in December are the strolling Mistletones, a singing quartet who will perform traditional holiday songs and add to the area’s festive ambience, Friday through Sunday afternoons along Front Street and Pier 17 through December 20. |
Be sure to visit the official South Street Seaport Page(s) to verify all of this information.
