‘Holiday Happenings’ Are Coming Back To Long Valley

After a modified celebration in 2021, the Holiday Happenings weekend is planning a comeback, with events the weekend of Dec. 4 and 5.

LONG VALLEY, NJ — Residents can mark their calendars on Dec. 4 and 5 for the return of Long Valley’s “Holiday Happenings.”

In 2020, most of the activities were canceled, though the Zion Lutheran Church hosted the Annual Community Tree Lighting, while its bell choir performed some carols. The church also collected foods for the Long Valley Interfaith Food Pantry.
