Christmas Tree Trimming - December 6

To celebrate the holidays, the Mayfair Business Association will be putting a Christmas tree up at Cottman and Frankford Avenues on December 6th.

We invite everyone to help us decorate it by bringing ornaments to put on the tree.

The festivities will start at 2:00pm and include:
  • A visit from Santa
  • Music
  • and Give-Aways from local businesses
Help us help the less fortunate by bringing a canned good or two for Philabundance.

Thanks to the Mayfair CDC, who will be supplying the tree stand as well as providing electricity to light the tree.
