Sachem Holiday Festival This Weekend

The Sachem community is set to ring in the holiday season this weekend with the Festival of Trees and Lights.

The holiday event, which will be held at Sachem North High School on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., is organized by the Sachem North Leos Club.

Featuring a wide variety of decorations designed and produced by student clubs and organizations, the event will have local craft vendors, a Chinese auction and live entertainment. Some of the decorations made by student clubs include trees, wreathes, gingerbread houses and garlands - representing a wide variety of cultures and nationalities.

Admission to the winter event is $2 for adults, $1 for Sachem students and free for children under 7. Attendees will have the chance to take a free picture with Santa.

Each admission includes a free raffle ticket which can be used to vote for your favorite tree. Attendees can earn a free ticket courtesy of the Robotics Club by dropping off a bag of clothing on Sunday between 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the east side of the building.

The entire event is student-driven and community supported designed to raise money for one of the largest toy drive in the Sachem community.
