The annual Oak Bluffs tree lighting ceremony will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 2 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Post Office Square. The community is invited to join in the caroling, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The Vineyard Classic Brass Ensemble will perform a medley of traditional holiday carols and board of selectmen chairman Greg Coogan will officially light the town tree.

Immediately following the lighting of the tree, the public is invited to the Game Room on Circuit avenue for hot chocolate and homemade baked treats supplied by the school parents, music by Brian Weiland and the Sting Rays and a visit from Santa, who will be collecting gifts for the Island Food Pantry, so please bring a food donation.
