Be a part of something magical with the lighting of the Choose Marshall Chamber Christmas Tree. Join this festive community event as we all come together to celebrate the holiday season and the warmth of our shared community spirit.
Choose Marshall Chamber Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony: Marshall’s Holiday Tradition Grows!
The Choose Marshall Chamber is thrilled to invite the community to celebrate the 2nd Annual Choose Marshall Chamber Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony—a magical holiday tradition that’s growing! The ceremony, Saturday, November 29 at 6pm on the south lawn of the historic Honolulu House, will continue the holiday tradition in the heart of downtown Marshall. The event coincides with Shop Small Saturday, a day designated to shop and eat locally and support Marshall’s small retail and hospitality businesses.
This year, the Chamber Christmas Tree has “grown” by four feet, making it a spectacular 30-foot LED panel tree topped with a brilliant four-foot star. This dazzling display is part of the festive holiday decorations that light up downtown Marshall throughout the holiday season.
The Tree Lighting Ceremony promises a joyful gathering, symbolizing community spirit and unity as the town gathers to see the bigger, brighter tree illuminated.
“We are so excited to see this new tradition take root and literally grow in its second year,” said Patty Williams, Business Development Manager for Choose Marshall. “This event is an opportunity for our community to come together, celebrate the season, and create lasting memories. The larger tree is a testament to the strong support we received last year, and we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone again!”
The festive evening will feature a special performance by the Marshall Choral Society, who will also lead the crowd in a Christmas carol sing-along, and complimentary treats of free hot cocoa, generously donated by Kellogg Community Credit Union. The Marshall Choral Society will sell tickets for their December 14th Holiday Concert Santa and Tudy Claus will also be in attendance to help two MarLee School second graders flip the switch and light the magnificent tree
The continued success and growth of this beautiful new landmark is thanks to the incredible support of the community. The Choose Marshall Chamber extends its sincere gratitude to all those who donated, especially the supporters at the Elf, Santa, and Angel levels ($1,000 and more): Consumers Credit Union, Jim and Sandi Dobbins Family, Enbridge, Oaklawn Hospital, Kellogg Community Credit Union, Party Time Events, Walbridge, Ford Blue Oval Battery Park Michigan, QEI Quality Excavating, Shafer Redi-Mix, and The Tom Franke Family.
The Choose Marshall Chamber invites everyone to be a part of the magic as we light up the night on November 29 at 6pm and officially kick off the holiday season in Marshall! For more information contact Patty Williams at 269.781.5163 or visit choosemarshall.com.
