The festivities begin at 2:00 pm, when children and adults can trade their ice skates at the 14th annual "Skate Swap" to be held inside borough hall in the community room until 3:00 pm.
Then the excitement builds for the tree lighting, which will take place at 4:30 pm at the corner of New Providence Rd. and Rt. 22.
