Linden Square in Wellesley lights up the holidays

November 28, 2017 by Deborah Brown

At Linden Square‘s annual tree lighting ceremony there were carolers and cookies, and…well, take a look:

Linden Square Tree Lighting
If the tree looks a little, um, little this year, check back in a day or two when the real tree is up. There was an unexpected delay and a problem with a truck, and…well, you know how crazy the holidays can get. This one will have to do for now.

And as promised, here’s the real tree…Linden Square Christmas tree

 

Salvation Army, Linden Square
Wellesley Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Peterson was on Salvation Army bell ringing duty in front of Roche Bros.

 

Linden Square, Tree Lighting
The Studios Fitness & Dance entertainers were ready to show their stuff, but the sound system was not cooperating, unfortunately. They looked fantastic, though.

White lights create a festive glow along the sidewalk that divides the parking lot in Linden Square.

Check out The Swellesley Report’s Instagram for a sweet video of the carolers. They were on their game. Don’t forget to follow us for great shots and videos as we wander around town (and sometimes a bit beyond).
