New for 2016 is the Holiday Village at Locke Ave Park. Community based businesses, groups, churches, and organizations are invited to participate for free.
We want the entire communities of Swedesboro and Woolwich to enjoy this event while leaving their wallets at home, so, there will be no selling of goods or products. Each village participant will have access to an area around the Holiday Tree, and there will be power should you choose to decorate your canopy. We ask that you have a free activity, giveaway, or handout for participants.
The Holiday Village is from 6-8:30 p.m. at Locke Ave Park. Please go to woolwichtwp.org to download the participation registration form. Forms are due by Nov. 19.
The Annual Woolwich Holiday Parade will take place on the evening of Dec. 3. More details to follow.
