Holiday Events In Pennsauken

Pennsauken Township is ready to celebrate the most special time of the year! Residents can look forward to the town’s annual parade, several community events, and the town’s annual initiative to help those in need during the holidays.

The 42nd annual Pennsauken Holiday Parade marches down Westfield Ave. at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 25. This perennial family favorite features fire engines, holiday-themed floats, musical entertainment, and a special visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The Holiday Parade begins at the Pennsauken Community Recreation Facility on Bethel Ave. and ends at 44th St. Pennsauken residents are invited to bundle up, set up along the parade route, and help their little ones scoop up a variety of candied favorites.

Pennsauken natives who have moved out of the area and others unable to attend can watch streaming video of the Holiday Parade via Facebook Live on the “Pennsauken Events” page.

Community groups are encouraged to participate in the parade. Their involvement will go a long way to bringing joy and hope to Pennsauken families during this festive season.

Pennsauken Township is holding its Tree Lighting and Holiday Light Extravaganza on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at the Township’s Municipal Complex, 5605 N. Crescent Blvd. 

At 6:00 p.m., Santa Claus will arrive via fire engine to light the tree. In addition to seeing Jolly Ole’ Saint Nicholas, kids can also drop off their letters to Santa that evening in a special mailbox set up on site. Mr. Claus will read some of these notes in a special video that will be shared later in the month on Pennsauken Television’s YouTube channel and via social media.

Through 8:30 p.m. that evening, attendees will be able to walk around the light display on the municipal grounds, enjoying music, a carousel, trackless train, the Eagles Pep Band, and purchase refreshments from food trucks. 

The Township will also be accepting new, unwrapped toys during the event for the annual Angel Tree program, which helps local families in need during the holidays.

Pennsauken Angel Tree Program

Once again, Pennsauken residents and businesses are preparing to pitch in to help children in the community during the holiday season through the Angel Tree program.

Last year, dozens of Pennsauken families were helped through the Angel Tree program; the initiative for 2023 hopes to support the same number of families.

Individuals can purchase a new, unwrapped toy and leave it at the Pennsauken Township Municipal Building, Rt. 130 and Merchantville Ave., from Monday, Nov. 27, through 4:00 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 15. Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated.

For more information, or to volunteer for the Angel Tree program, call (856) 665-1000, ext. 151 or email jvazquez@pennsauken.gov.
