Concert and Tree Lighting
All ages and voices are welcome to join musicians, choristers, friends, and neighbors to raise the roof with the sound of music. This combination “variety show” and “sing-a-long” will feature the talents of local performers.  Everyone’s favorite music will be included, with new selections added this year. Lyrics will be provided so that everyone can join in the fun, or simply listen to the sound of a full orchestra celebrating a season of holiday cheer. This free concert will conclude with a short parade to the old Greeley House for the New Castle Historical Society’s Holiday Tree Lighting.

Rain, snow, sleet or hail, the concert will prevail.
We don't know if the treelighting will be a go, but wouldn't it be pretty with just a little snow?

This concert is FREE! No tickets or reservations necessary. All ages (and voices) are welcome.
