Boyertown Brings Holiday Magic to Life This Week: A Unity Tree Brings Community Together

by Amy Muzopappa

The 5th annual Unity Tree lighting event will take place in Boyertown this Friday, December 1, 2023. This year’s tree is the most beautiful yet and was graciously donated by Mar-Jo Farms of Unger Lane, Boyertown.

In the past, hundreds have gathered rain or shine for caroling and merriment. The LIVE musical jams with Funky Frets always get everyone warmed up! At 7PM, the community participates in the countdown to light the tree. The community is invited to come out and enjoy this very special holiday centerpiece in our community. Come for the lighting, stay for the hot chocolate and snacks and Santa! Oh yes, Santa will be there for photos with the tree!

As the name implies, the Unity Tree truly brings the community together. There are many who dedicate their time and talents to this project. We are especially thankful to the following contributors:

Berks-Mont Towing, Boyertown Community Ambulance Service, Building a Better Boyertown, Colebrookdale Railroad, Dallas Tree Service, Deal Me In Games, Denney Electric, Donnie Ellixson’s Gardens of Boyertown, Ellixson’s Tae Kwon Do Academy, Funky Frets, Magical Wonders Vacations, Mar-Jo Farms, Muzo Media Productions, St. Johns Lutheran Church, Jeff & Jamie Cascino, The Other Farm & Forge, Thrivent Financial – Matthew Robb, Zuber Realty
