Syracuse Tannenbaum

WHY WE CALL SYRACUSE HOME...  Light snow falling, Christmas music playing in the background, kids glowing in anticipation home-made ornaments hanging from the tree, arms around each other to stay warm...

It's time to light our Christmas tree centered in the middle of our brick laid Main Street.  With the German heritage in Syracuse comes an age old tradition of lighting the community tree.

Each year on the first Saturday in December the Tannenbaum Celebration starts in the early morning and continues through dusk with the tree lighting.  Events include, but are not limited to, retail open houses, Kids Time, bake sales, Christmas music, a Santa visit, and the tree lighting.  Events are sponsored by the Syracuse Area Chamber of Commerce.
