The Lyme-Old Lyme Chamber of Commerce hosts the Community Tree Lighting outside Center School starting at 4 p.m. this afternoon, which kicks off the “Light Up Old Lyme” weekend. Parents and community members are welcome.
Under the baton of Lyme-Old Lyme Middle School (LOLMS) Music Director, Carrie Wind, the LOLMS Band will play seasonal music and the LOLMS Chorus will lead the singing of carols.
The Old Lyme Holiday Tree outside the Town Hall will be lit at 4:30 p.m.
The Chamber will serve cookies and hot chocolate, which are generously sponsored by Essex Savings Bank, to all the performers.
A number of events immediately follow the tree lighting. We have published separate articles on LymeLine about them and provide a link to them here so readers can gain more detailed information about these events.
