Excitement is building for the kickoff to the holiday season in Southern Lehigh, which will be at Coopersburg’s annual Tree Lighting Ceremony the weekend after Thanksgiving.
When is the Coopersburg Tree Lighting Ceremony?
Presented by the Southern Lehigh Chamber of Commerce and Coopersburg Fire Co. No. 1, this year’s event will be held next to the fire company at State and Main streets on Saturday, Nov. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Photos with Santa will be available inside Coopersburg Borough Hall from 6:15 to 7:45 p.m.
