Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 26, 2021

GARMA continued the tradition of the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on  the evening of November 26, 2021 (Black Friday). People came out to Lincoln Square or watched the event from home! The event was live streamed on our Facebook page, for those far away or who wish to stay home and celebrate in warmth with family and friends.

Santa arrived on the back of a truck to wish all a happy holiday season. Before heading to his shanty, Santa lit the center town square tree, all the while holiday tunes played in the background.

Prior to the event, Santa’s Shanty was set up in its traditional spot on the ACNB/Open Minds quadrant of the square.  Santa retired to his location and greeting kids of all ages.

If you aren't able to visit with Santa, we are encouraging children to drop off their letters to Santa at mailboxes located in Artworks, 30 York St. and Best Western Gettysburg, 301 Steinwehr Ave.
