Main Street Hanover, in conjunction with downtown businesses, will host Christmas Tree Wars throughout the holiday season. The friendly competition is designed to decorate every business in downtown with a unique tree or lighting display. Over 25 downtown businesses and organizations have signed up to create a holiday tree at their place of business, to be voted on by the general public. The tree can be made of any material and can be placed anywhere inside or outside the business. Wait until you see the creativity!

Passports for the Christmas Tree Wars are available to the general public, and can be picked up at the Hanover Chamber Office, Santa’s Cabin, and any participating business. The passports will be stamped at each business and returned once filled for entry into a prize drawing. Passports can be returned to Hanover Chamber, 146 Carlisle St. via the mail slot.

Christmas Tree Wars will run Nov. 23 through Dec. 29.

Lastly, join Main Street Hanover for a Cookie Stroll on 2nd Saturday, December 9 from 1pm-5pm.
