Tourism - Tannenbaum


December 6, 2008 Syracuse Tannenbaum

Have you ever been to Syracuse during the month of December?  Main Street is a scene popping out of a Terry Redlin holiday picture!!!  It all centers around the town Christmas Tree in the middle of our brick laid  streets.  The tree is an old German tradition that has been passed on for years and years!  The businesses take pride in decorating their store fronts for the holiday season too.


Each year the Tannenbaum Celebration starts from early morning and continue through dusk with the tree lighting.  The Syracuse Chamber of Commerce sponsors Tannenbaum on the first Saturday of December.  This year mark your calendar for December 6!  Events include, but are not limited to, retail open houses, Holiday Tour of Homes, Kids Time, bake sales, Christmas music, a Santa visit, and the tree lighting.
