City of Camden Christmas Tree Lighting
The Camden community has many things to offer this holiday season. The City will be kicking off the holiday season with the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in front of City Hall. The public is invited to attend the lighting at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 1st. Join us for hot chocolate and holiday music featuring a small ensemble of the Camden Community Concert Band and the combined youth choirs from Bethesda Presbyterian Church. The City’s Street and Electric Dept. crews have been working hard placing decorations throughout Camden in preparation for the holiday season. Come help Mayor Tony Scully kick off the holiday season in Camden and “throw the switch” at the tree lighting. There will also be a special guest appearance from the man in red and white!
