Light Up The Village Recap

Hey there, merry Villagers! If you missed out on last Friday’s Light Up the Village, here’s the inside scoop on the first-ever Light Up the Village Festival that turned 8th Street into a festive winter party.

🎶 Brass Queens Performance:

The festival headliners were our favorite local band, Brass Queens, an all-female brass band. Their Christmas and jazz classics were the soundtrack of the evening and set the perfect festive tone.

🎄Tree-rific Traditions:

Did you catch the festive fever and bring home your Christmas tree from Tree Riders NYC? The Village streets were adorned with their beautiful evergreens, making it a one-stop-shop for both holiday charm and the centerpiece of your celebrations.
