Glen Cove Seeks Local Christmas Tree Donation For Annual Holiday Festival

GLEN COVE, NY — The City of Glen Cove is searching for a locally-grown tree donation for this year's tree lighting ceremony in Village Square.

The Christmas tree will be the centerpiece of the annual tradition. Phil Zuccala and Michael Corigliano donated to last year's tree lighting ceremony.

The tree has to be from Glen Cove, and approximately 25 to 30-feet tall. It will be removed at no cost to the property owner, but it has to be clear of any power lines.

The festive event will include free horse and carriage rides, live music, treats like a hot cocoa bar, and photos with Santa.

The event will take place in Village Square, Glen Cove, on Dec. 6 at 4:45 p.m., during the Downtown BID's Holiday Festival from 1:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. There will be free parking in the Brewster Street parking garage.

After the tree is taken down, it will be recycled and chipped.

To donate, or find out more information on how to donate, please contact City of Glen Cove Public Relations Officer Roni Jenkins at 516-676-2004 or email at Roni.Jenkins@glencoveny.gov or sgtripp@glencoveny.gov.
