Jenkintown’s Community Alliance A unique community of shops and neighbors.

On Wednesday, December 3rd Jenkintown Square will be filled with lights and people as the tree on the square will be lit and a special guest from the North Pole will arrive to kick off the holiday season. The community is invited to join in the festivities presented by the Jenkintown Rec. Board.

The fun begins at the Hiway Theatre at 5PM where they will be showing the holiday classic The Grinch (30 min cartoon) for free! At 6PM in the Town Square at Leedom and Greenwood, festivities to include:
Tree Lighting, musical performances by Jenkintown School’s Mini Singers & Jenkintown Brass, find the Snowflake Storewide Treasure Hunt, Gift Certificate Giveaways, Cookies, Hot Chocolate, and the arrival of Santa!

The JCA invites the community to a Snowflake Hunt. Be on the lookout for hidden snowflake ornaments in participating Jenkintown shops and eateries. Once you or your child finds the snowflake, your passport will be stamped. Collect three stamps and enter the passport at the JCA booth in Town Square during the tree lighting event. Later that night passports will be drawn to win Jenkintown gift certificates. Passports are available at participating stores and at the JCA booth. Get into the holiday spirt while shopping, sampling goodies, meeting friends & neighbors … and remember, keep your eyes open for snowflakes!
