A little side history of the Belmont Tree Lighting Ceremony that we have every year. The lighting of the Christmas tree and the caroling by children represented by local public and private schools is a continuing tradition since 1974 where the tree was proclaimed the city’s official Christmas tree November 10, 1975. We sponsor this event and give a donation as a thank you to the schools that participate in the tree lighting known as “The City of Belmont Tree”. The festivities include an arts and craft boutique with Santa mingling amongst the crowd giving candy to the children. This is our way of sharing the spirit of giving during the holiday season.

This is spectacular! The Hallelujah Chorus has hit the Macy’s Parade. On Saturday, October 30, 2010, the Opera Company of Philadelphia brought together over 650 choristers from 28 participating organizations to perform one of the Knight Foundation’s “Random Acts of Culture” at Macy’s in Center City Philadelphia. They planted the singers amongst the crowds throughout the Grand Court at Macy’s. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ – the world’s largest pipe organ – the OCP Chorus and throngs of singers from the community infiltrated the store as shoppers, and burst into a pop-up rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah” at 12 noon, to the delight of surprised shoppers.
